Summary[edit]

Description
English: Pacific Ring of Fire Expedition. Yellow and orange microbial mats forming "bioreactor" mound with a thin crust and small chimneys on top. The crusty outer coating acts as a thermal blanket to elevate internal temperature from diffuse venting and help retain reduced microbial nutrients. This mound is approximately 1 meter (3 ft) across. Mariana Arc region, Western Pacific Ocean.
