Perspective view of the ultra-high resolution bathymetry (25 cm grid) at the Vai Lili vent field, located on the Valu Fa Ridge. Numerous cratered domes are evident in the southern extent of the survey area, and a distinct flow is evident emanating toward the N–NW from the southernmost cratered dome. Observed areas of hydrothermal activity (both focused and diffuse flow) are outlined with white boxes.

Bathymetry of the Tui Malila vent field (25 cm resolution) on the Valu Fa Ridge in the Lau Basin. Observed areas of hydrothermal activity (identified with white boxes) are located close to a NNE–SSW trending fault scarp with 10–15 m throw. Some areas of hydrothermal activity at Tui Malilsa are associated with volcanic domes. The bumpy texture in the southeastern extent of the survey area is due to the presence of pillow lavas.

Perspective view of the bathymetry (25 cm grid) of the southern area of hydrothermal activity at the ABE Vent Field along the Central Eastern Lau Spreading Center. Hydrothermal activity (identified with white boxes) was observed on a platform between two faults, each with throw of at least 10 m.

Perspective view of the northern and central portions of the ABE hydrothermal vent field (25 cm resolution). Observed areas of hydrothermal activity (both focused and diffuse flow) are outlined with white boxes and are located on and adjacent to a NE–SW trending fault with a throw of 10–20 m. Individual vent edifices are identifiable in this view, and finger-like flows are evident within the white box at the northeastern extent of the view.

The Tow Cam vent field in the Northern Eastern Lau Spreading Center consists of two areas of hydrothermal activity (identified with white boxes) adjacent to a fault with throw of nearly 20 m. These hydrothermal vent areas are directly connected by a small fault (throw ~ 1 m). The bumpy texture evident in this perspective view is due to the presence of pillow and lobate lavas.

The Kilo Moana vent field along the Norther Eastern Lau Spreading center is characterized by pillow lavas cut by intersecting fissures. The bumpy texture evident in this bathymetric map (resolution: 25 cm), is due to pillow lavas. Three areas of hydrothermal activity, identified with white boxes, are located near the fissures. A hydrothermal vent complex with structures as tall as 15 m is evident at the intersection of the fissures.
