Two hydrothermal fields found on the Southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge

In recent years, a series of cruises have been launched by China Ocean Mineral Resources Research and Development Association （COMRA） to conduct hydrothermal activity investigation at mid-ocean ridges （MOR）. Since the first active hydrothermal field at 49.6°E Southwest Indian Ridge （SWIR） was found...

Description
Summary:In recent years, a series of cruises have been launched by China Ocean Mineral Resources Research and Development Association （COMRA） to conduct hydrothermal activity investigation at mid-ocean ridges （MOR）. Since the first active hydrothermal field at 49.6°E Southwest Indian Ridge （SWIR） was found in 2007 by Chinese scientists on board R/V Dayangyihao, more hydrothermal fields have been found on the SWIR and equatorial East Pacific Rise （EPR） [1-4].
