Axial Seamount is located above the Cobb Hot spot and is dissected by the Juan de Fuca Ridge spreading center. The summit of this highly active volcano is located ~ 1500 m beneath the oceans's surface. Down dropped seafloor forms a caldera marked by ~ 100 m tall near vertical cliffs. Three active hydrothermal fields are fueled by heat from a mamga reservoir ~ 2 km beneath the seafloor. Credit: D. Kelley and CEV, University of Washington.
