Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 48, No. 3, Pages 28 and 29:
Not all of the petroleum gushing from the broken pipe at the Macondo well made it to the surface. WHOI scientists located and mapped a plume of hydrocarbons flowing 3,600 feet deep in the Gulf of Mexico and discovered what chemical compounds were in it.
