3D Map of An Underwater Volcano - Axial Seamount


It is already clear that the Langseth’s data has game-changing potential.

The roofs of the primary and secondary magma chambers can be clearly seen in three dimensions. Their complexities are becoming clear: multiple horizontal wafers of magma, known as sills, streak through the subsurface. A previously discovered field of hydrothermal vents, some as high as buildings, has been found sitting above a newly identified third magma cache.  ---  New York Times
