Live Video from the Axial Seamount Underwater Volcano, USA West Coast

A cave?

Im thinking maybe that used to be a bubble.

yeah...a lot of collapsed areas here.

500m to edge of caldera.

So about 1/2 hr to go.

Looks pretty smooth now

Anyone know how the swirl marks were formed. Looks like damaged cable.

Guess not.

Yes, they are going to investigate the caldera tomorrow around 5am. Should be a great show! Thanks NiN for the link, it's awesome. Looks like you can go back and see it again if you missed it.. This is definitely in my favorites...

They will be starting the dive in less than 15 minutes!

What are they looking at?

As they were cruising along, it seemed pretty uncrowded down there with an occasional fish or octopus going through the frame... then they zoomed in on the seafloor, covered in baby starfish.
