Deep Discoverer Traverses Over Rock Debris
A mixture of pillow lava-like outcrops and blocky rock debris were seen for much of Dive 02 of the 2021 North Atlantic Stepping Stones expedition. In this image, remotely operated vehicle Deep Discoverer traverses over an apron of rock debris. Sediment cover here was thin and primarily limited to spaces between rocks, suggesting a geologically dynamic environment.
