ESA's GOCE satellite has mapped the gravitic fields around the Earth in order to create a geoid (a map of the ocean as shaped by gravity alone, without the influence of tides or circulation). You can find a copy of the animated geoid here (as well as a still image further down the page). Interesting stuff. However what intrigues me is the extremely low heights measured just off Ceylon/Sri Lanka. As if something had sunk there and pulled the surface of the Earth down with it... Yes!
