Leading up to the start of World Oceans Month in June, we’re celebrating our Blue Planet through images from the field, videos, and interactive talks! Each week, we’ll focus on a different deep-ocean theme!
On this dive [ranging in depth from 3,288 meters to 3,292 meters (2.04 – 2.05 miles)] we imaged, for the first time ever, an incredible active hydrothermal vent that rose 30 meters (98 feet) off the seafloor. At one point, we measured a temperature of 339°C (642°F)!
