Small mounds/vents/"volcanoes" around the periphery of a brine pool rose small heights (cm) from the seafloor. Some of these volcanoes, like the one in the image, were emitting gas, probably also mixed with liquid hydrocarbons and brine.
A small "volcano" around the periphery of a brine pool rose small heights (centimeters) from the seafloor. Some of these small volcanoes were emitting gas, probably also mixed with liquid hydrocarbons and brine. Note the bubble of gas rising from the small volcano reflecting the lights of Little Hercules giving an illusion of eyes staring back at the camera.
