Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 42, No. 2, Pg. 41:
WALKING ON THE OCEAN FLOOR—WHOI scientists Peter Kelemen (top arrow) and Greg Hirth (50 meters directly below) walk on rocks that once were in the upper mantle below the seafloor. In this photomosaic of a mountainside in Oman (and in photo on preceding page), light-colored rocks (dunite) are ancient channels through which melt once flowed through the mantle.
