This will help us understanding where the heat source creating the hydrothermal activity at Rainbow is located.<br \/>\nWe mapped (and still mapping) at high resolution the seafloor to learn more about the superficial tectonics and morphology of the Rainbow Massif.<br \/>\nWe observed amazing high temperature black smokers, low temperature diffused hydrothermal vents and detachment faults.<\/p>\n<p>See some amazing striations here:<\/p>\n<p><a

we recovered rocks of several types that will help us unravel the processes of mineralization at these hydrothermal vents and the fluid\/rock chemical exchanges.<\/p>\n<p>Follow us at
