(a) The Endeavour Segment is located ~ 300 km off the coast of Vancouver Island and is a Canadian Marine Protected Area. It is bounded to the north by Middle Valley and West Valley, and to the south by the Cobb propagator. (b) The Main Endeavour Field was chosen as the Ridge 2000 Endeavour Integrated Study Site bull’s-eye because of its large and vigorously venting sulfide structures, because it was believed to be dominantly in a tectonic phase with significant seismic activity, and because it had a rich history of study by a diverse array of investigators. The lower-resolution multibeam bathymetry was collected during the University of Washington Keck-funded cruises using the R/V Thompson EM300 system. The ~ 5 m resolution bathymetry was collected during the Keck-University of Washington Visions05 (http://www.visions05.washington.edu/) cruise using the autonomous underwater vehicle ABE as part of a site survey effort for NEPTUNE Canada.
