Pacific Ring of Fire Expedition. The steep slope of the East Diamante volcanois seen in this image from the upper left to the lower right-hand side. Large blocks of lava, denoted by the cracks, are covered by a thin layer of sediment. In the foreground, going upslope, are numerous dark (inactive) chimneys protruding out of the jumble of rocks. The one in the foreground is about 5m high. (Image credit: Pacific Ring of Fire 2004 Expedition. NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration; Dr. Bob Embley, NOAA PMEL, Chief Scientist)
