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).
