Notes on Vent Field Description:
Schmid et al. (2019) Figure S3. Results from the 29°47’S – 30°40’S segment: 'ORP anomaly detected by the AUV near 29°57.4’S/13°51.4’W was not considered as unequivocal sign of hydrothermal activity in here but may nonetheless hint diffuse venting'; Devey (2014): AUV Abyss dive 126;
Year and How Discovered (if active, visual confirmation is listed first):
2013 plume only
