Caption from 2020 Wall Calendar, June:
WHOI operators deploy the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Sentry off the coast of Oregon at a site called “Pythias Oasis” on the Cascadia Margin during an expedition led by the University of Washington. Scientists used Sentry to map and characterize “seeps” at the site— warm, mineral-rich water flowing from the seafloor 1,000 meters (~3,300 feet) below the surface. The area teems with life, including rockfish, eelpout fish, hagfish, anemones, “sea pig” sea cucumbers, crabs, snails, soft corals, and clam beds. Ongoing investigation of the submarine fluids may unearth new clues about seismic activity deep within the Cascadia Margin.
