The camera was reinstalled in the ASHES hydrothermal field during Leg 2 of the Cabled Array OOI-NSF VISIONS17 cruise. The structure is ~ 3.5 m tall and covered in tube worms, limpets, scaleworms and palmworms. This camera has a brush on it so that it can clean its 'face' of biofouling. Credit: UW/OOI-NSF/WHOI; V17.
