Pacific Ring of Fire Expedition

Pacific Ring of Fire Expedition. Yellow and orange microbial mats forming “bioreactor” mound with a thin crust and small chimneys on top. The crusty outer coating acts as a thermal blanket to elevate internal temperature from diffuse venting and help retain reduced microbial nutrients. This mound is approximately 1 meter (3 ft) across.
