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).
