Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 52, No. 2, pg. 56:
In a blacked-out control room on Annie, Todd Gregory (left) operates Yogis manipulator arm. Dave Wright (middle) drives the vehicle, while Andy OBrien (right) observes. Chief scientist Rob Sohn (standing) records data. The crew is using Yogis manipulator arm to place a probe into the lake floor to measure heat migrating up through the lake bottom. The probe will remain in the bottom for a year, measuring how the heat flow varies over time at different locations. The heat comes directly from the magma chambers that underlie Yellowstone Caldera and is more than 1,000 times hotter than the average for similar sites in North America.
Caption from expedition blog:
While Yogi is exploring the depths of the lake, the team drives the vehicle in Annie's blacked-out control room. At the controls are Todd Gregory (left, operating the vehicle's manipulator arm), Dave Wright (middle, driving the vehicle), and Andy O'Brien (right). Chief Scientist Rob Sohn (standing) takes notes. If you look carefully at video monitor, we have just deployed one of Rob Harris's thermal gradient probes, which will collect data for a year. Work was completed under an authorized Yellowstone Research Permit.
