Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 56, No. 1, inside front cover:
Submarine volcanoes are just one of many extreme places that oceanographers go. This high-resolution map image shows the seafloor topography of the caldera of the Havre volcano off the coast of New Zealand, which erupted in 2012. It was the largest underwater silicic eruption in the past century. A research expedition visited the site in 2015 for a close-up investigation. The WHOI-operated autonomous underwater vehicle Sentry produced this map of the volcano, which lies nearly a mile deep. Red areas show new lavas from the 2012 eruption. Scientists also used the WHOI remotely operated vehicle Jason to explore the site and collect samples.

Caption from WHOI News Release dated 01/10/2018:
High-resolution seafloor topography of the Havre caldera mapped by the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Sentry shows the new 2012 erupted lavas in red. The volcano is nearly a mile deep (1,519 meters). The top of the volcano is at 650 meters below sea level.
