A hot vent (255 degrees C) near the top of a 38-meter-high sulfide chimney in the Loloa Kakai vent field on the Fonualei rift, sampled during dive Q23

A hot vent (255 degrees C) near the top of a 38-meter-high sulfide chimney in the Loloa Kakai vent field on the Fonualei rift, sampled during dive Q233. The vent fluids forming these giant columnar chimneys are a result of water/rock reaction deep below the seafloor. They have a pH of approximately 5.2, not nearly as acidic as Volcano O cone fluids.
