Sulfide microbial incubator in the diffusely venting chimney Roane. Pressure housing, data logger, and ICL are at the top of the edifice. The upper ~2 m portion of this chimney was recovered in 1998, allowing detailed, coregistered mineralogical-microbiological studies. The corehole was drilled with the ROV Jason 2 hovering in doppler lock ~ 6 m above the seafloor.
