Clearer picture, and yes, it is Atlantis, scuba divers found some tablets, they had a financial crisis and tried a massive bailout scheme that literally buried them.

"Mr Sandwell added the false underwater canyons so that they could see where the SIO’s data was being used."

Pardon my ignorance, but just precisely is this supposed to accomplish? How?

(Sounds a tad like marsh gas and weather balloons to me)

I think it will end up being artifacts. Here is another grid off of the coast of Ireland.

Deep canals are a more likely explanation.

Atlantis was supposedly built with a system of canals.

Whoah, whoah, first we have to see if there are any poor and downtrodden who want to leave Atlantis for Gitmo--uh, I mean the US. Gratis, of course. And we will provide housing, a weekly stipend. (Are Atlanteans considered a minority group? Are they registered to vote yet?)

According to Google, the pattern is an "artifact" of its map making process.

Details for the ocean maps on Google Earth come from sonar measurements of the sea floor recorded by boats - and the area around the Canaries was mapped by boats traveling in a series of straight lines.

I'm a believer in the prehistoric civilization of Atlantis;
but this ain't it, or even part of it.
The cheesy article gives a clue at the end concerning the imagery:

“Google today claimed the criss-crossing lines were sonar data collected as boats mapped the ocean floor.
But the internet giant said ‘blank spots’ within the lines could not be explained.
A spokeswoman said: ‘Bathymetric (or sea floor terrain) data is often collected from boats using sonar to take measurements of the sea floor.
THE LINES REFLECT THE PATH OF THE BOAT as it gathers the data.
The fact that there are blank spots between each of these lines is a sign of how little we really know about the world’s oceans.’”

The lines are perpendicular because the survey vessel(s) followed 90 degree azimuths. If the vessel(s) had overlapped the courses, we would see a rectangular area that appears uniformly rough like each of the lines.

That is a lie, it is on the ocean floor, they are trying to keep divers from going on there now. I just spoke to a person in the military, a high ranking official, there are two US Naval Ships over that area right now keep all at bay.

This looks like some sort of cold war relic. Perhaps the remains of an antenna array for very low frequency communication.
