Discovery of Active Hydrothermal Vent Fields Along the Central Indian Ridge, 8–12°S

Abstract Four new hydrothermal vent fields were discovered on the slow spreading Central Indian Ridge (8–12°S; Segments 1–3), all located off‐axis on abyssal hill structures or Ocean Core Complexes (OCCs). Each site was characterized using seafloor observation (towed camera system), plume chemistry...
