Typical actively-venting sulfide mineral edifice in the High-Rise vent field of the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The 45 m-high edifice, named Godzilla, was discovered and mapped in 1991. For scale the submersible Alvin, shown to the left of the edifice, is 6 m long. Courtesy of V. Robigou, Ocean et Terra Studio.
