UW Oceanographer Mitch Elend (L) and Co-Chief Scientist Orest Kawka remove samples of hot spring fluids collected 2017-2018 in the remote acces fluid sampler that was capturing fluids from the Tiny Towers diffuse flow site in the International District Hydrothermal Field at the summit of Axial Seamount.

Inside the Jason control van onboard the R/V Revelle, scientists and UW undergraduate students watch as the vehicle prepares to measure the jets of superheated water issuing from the hot spring chimney 'Inferno' (>290°C) nearly one mile beneath the oceans' surface at the summit of Axial Seamount.

Organisms colonize the outer walls of the 16 m-tall hydrothermal edifice called El Guapo. The community structure changes with height above seafloor. Here, limpets, red scale worms and blue protists (ciliates) colonize the outer sulfide walls of the structure. Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI, V18.
