07/25/2011,15:00:43,okeanosexplorer,EX1103L2_DIVE12_20110725 This is a live update from the NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer. This is Tim Shank. The local shipboard time is 0900 hours. We are current descending with Little Hercules on Dive 12 of this program to an axial volcano near 85 01.967W 1 43.806N on the eastern side of the Ecuador Rift.  We will explore the volcano's caldera, which has two deeper "holes" in it to the north and northeast. Starting from a depth of almost 2870m, we plan to cross over the rim on the SW side and go down into the volcano's caldera. There have been no previous visits to this volcano.  Expected time of reaching bottom is 1030 local E time.

07/25/2011,16:14:47,Bob Embley,We dove west and east of here with Alvin in 1981 and didn't see any sign of hydrothermal activity pas or present as i recall.  but all we had were some old single beam hand contoured maps and very poor navigation.   This is a short rift bounded by two fracture zones that makes for a low magma supply.  However, there has not been any CTD work in here to my knowledge, so we simply don't know if there's anything going on here at present.
07/25/2011,16:16:18,okeanosexplorer,Old stomping grounds with a new neighborhood.  Must bring back some memories Bob.  Sounds like good ol' Lulu days.
07/25/2011,16:16:43,okeanosexplorer,10 minutes to bottom
07/25/2011,16:17:33,scottwhite,There are often circumferential fissures around the tops of these cratered, small seamount volcanoes in other places, which sometimes host hydrothermalism and low-T vent communities.
07/25/2011,16:17:58,scottwhite,Pit craters are also good places to look, as you know well
07/25/2011,16:18:47,okeanosexplorer,I would think this volcano to be "older" and not part of the active rifting to the NE....but, I could also see collapse/fissures with fluids coming out....and vent communities.
