Fracture-controlled fluid transport supports microbial methane-oxidizing communities at Vestnesa Ridge

<p>We report a rare observation of a mini-fracture in near-surface sediments (30&thinsp;cm below the seafloor) visualized using a rotational scanning X-ray of a core recovered from the Lomvi pockmark, Vestnesa Ridge, west of Svalbard (1200&thinsp;m water depth). Porewater geochemistry...
