Spectacular valleys and cliffs hidden beneath the North Sea

Like a bowl of spaghetti noodles spilled across the floor of the North Sea, a vast array of hidden tunnel valleys wind and meander across what was once an ice-covered landscape.

These valleys are remnants of ancient rivers that once drained water from melting ice sheets.

Now, scientists have achieved the clearest view yet of these channels. They're buried hundreds of feet beneath the seafloor, and they are enormous, ranging from about 0.6 to 3.7 miles (1 to 6 kilometers) wide.

Have as great a birthday as you have given to everybody else in OW.

Have a most wonderful birthday, Randi!!!
(I tried to upload an image but it didn't quite happen... it was an Arctic sea otter wishing you a very happy birthday. He's sporting a birthday hat and holding balloons that I drew in. Enjoy your day!)

Thank you both!

First, you need to have the image on the internet.
If it is your own image you will need to upload it to imgur or something similar.

Here is an example using an image already on the internet: https://www.seacoastonline.com/storyima ... 409934.jpg

Click either the 'landscape painting' button above the text entry box:

[img]https://www.seacoastonline.com/storyimage/SO/20150401/NEWS/150409934/AR/0/AR-150409934.jpg[/img]

or the imagew button above the text entry box on the right if you want to specify the width:

[imagew=200]https://www.seacoastonline.com/storyimage/SO/20150401/NEWS/150409934/AR/0/AR-150409934.jpg[/imagew]

Thanks, Randi! I used Imgur (for the first time ever! It's good to learn new things). I tried both image uploading methods but have no idea why it's not working. Anyway, here's your birthday otter! https://imgur.com/a/uYR6gqE

You almost had it!

From https://imgur.com/a/uYR6gqE, in Firefox, right click on the image and select Copy Image Link.
Other browsers might have slightly different wording.
That gives: https://i.imgur.com/yIUgG7R.jpeg

Put that in the imagew with a width (200 here):
