View of the eastern margin of the axial summit trough (AST) in the 9° 50'N area showing extensive collapse, lava pillars, and ramparts leading to the embayed character of the AST wall. Distance across the bottom of the photo is approximately 4 m. Photo is frame-grabbed high-definition image (courtesy of W. Lange, WHOI, and R. Lutz, Rutgers University).

Species:

Bathymetric complexity associated with the primary eruptive fissure of the 1991 eruption in the AST floor of the East Pacific Rise near 9°50'N. Photograph showing a view to the south of the deep, narrow primary fissure and sheet lava surface that dips into the axis of the fissure. The white object in the middle of the photo is a marker that was deployed on the seafloor for time series studies [Shank et al., 1998]. The scale across the bottom of the photo is approximately 5 m. Photo is frame-grabbed high-definition image (courtesy of W. Lange, WHOI, and R. Lutz, Rutgers University).

Alvin 35 mm photograph taken in 1992 of the Mussel Bed area. Photograph showing extensive mussel community and serpulid worms (small white curvy features on the basalt surface). Distance across bottom of photo is ~2 m.

Species:

Bathymetric complexity associated with the primary eruptive fissure of the 1991 eruption in the Axial Summit Trough (AST) of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) near 9°50'N. This photograph of the east side of the fissure shows exposed flow sequences that are 20-60 cm thick separated by fragmented lava crusts. The biomarkers (57 and 58) are 45 cm by 30 cm. The scale across the bottom of the photo is approximately 6 m. Photo is frame-grabbed high-definition image (courtesy of W. Lange, WHOI, and R. Lutz, Rutgers University).
