Paleochori Bay, Greece: Volcanic fluids circulate through the seafloor producing several shallow-sea hydrothermal vents located in Paleochori Bay off the coast of Milos Island, Greece. We studied white and yellow patches that form where hot, acidic, and sulfidic fluids vent to the seafloor. To learn more, see our publications at the bottom of this page!
