Expedition Summary - Eratosthenes Seamount Leg 3
See what you missed during the third leg of the 2012 expedition season. E/V Nautilus spent 14 days exploring the Eratosthenes seamount: the team mapped interesting geological features, studied large active vent communities, and even encountered a new shipwreck!
Expedition
Eratosthenes Seamount
Nautilus was diving at the Eratosthenes Seamount in search of signs indicating active hydrothermal vents, where warm chemical-rich water is seeping out of the seafloor, and the exotic animals that live on them. While searching for evidence of geological and biological activity, we came across both modern and ancient garbage.
