Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Incandescence and a plume rise above the Hades vent of West Mata, a submarine volcano rising to within 1174 m of the sea surface, in May 2009. The volcano is located in the northeastern Lau Basin at the northern end of the Tonga arc, about 200 km SW of Samoa. It was discovered during a November 2008 NOAA Vents Program expedition, when West Mata was found to be producing submarine hydrothermal plumes consistent with recent or ongoing lava effusion. A return visit in May 2009 documented explosive and effusive activity. |
