A nearly 5 ft-long rattail eyes the ROV Jason at >5000 ft down at the summit of Axial Seamount. This solitary fish, or its friend, comes to see us each year. Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI; V19.

A nearly 5 ft-long rattail rests just above a lava flow on the summit of Axial Seamount, nearly a mile beneath the oceans' surface. White bacterial mats fill small cracks in the seafloor. Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI;V19.

A newly formed very active venting 'John Casey'site hosts beautiful healthy tubeworms with bright red plumes. A small black beehive chimney releases hot fluids into the near freezing seawater. Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI; V19.

Red-headed tubeworms thrive in the warm waters seeping out of the El Guapo chimney at the newly formed John Casey site. Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI; V19.

A fragile sulfide (beehive) structure sprouts in the John Casey area on the massive ~ 55ft tall El Guapo Edifice. Sulfide worms colonize the side of the actively venting chimlet. Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/NSF: V19.

A nearly 1 m-tall, 1 day-old chimney springs from a venting orifice where a temperature-chlorinity probe is inserted sending real-time data to shore. Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI;V19.

The Diva vent site is hosted atop a narrow volcanic ridge in the International District Hydrothermal Field. A cabled sensor sends real-time data back to shore measuring pH-H2S- and temperature. Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI; V19.

A small anhydrite-rich deposit encrusts the pH-H2S-temperature sensor at the DIva vent site after 1-day since its installation. UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI; V19.

A 1-day old deposit of fine-grained sulfide and and anhydrite (CaSO4) encrusts the pH-H2S-Temperature sensor at Dive, sending data live from 300 miles off shore. Credit: UW/NSF-OOI/WHOI. V19.
