    par(mar=c(2,2,2,2))
    image(Bathymetry$x,Bathymetry$y,Bathymetry$z,col=femmecol(100),
          asp=TRUE,xlab="dg",ylab="dg")
    contour(Bathymetry$x,Bathymetry$y,Bathymetry$z,asp=TRUE,add=TRUE)

    # remove land
    zz     <- Bathymetry$z
    zz[zz>0]<-0

    image(Bathymetry$x,Bathymetry$y,zz,col=c(femmecol(100),"black"),asp=TRUE)
    contour(Bathymetry$x,Bathymetry$y,zz,asp=TRUE,add=TRUE)
