Submarine Ring of Fire 2006: Daikoku Sulfur Cauldron Volcano

The science party was incredulous, and a bit giddy, when they first realized that liquid sulfur was bubbling up from this pit (later named Sulfur Cauldron) at the Mariana Arc Daikoku volcano. The Jason ROV is operated by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as part of the National Deep Submergence Facility which is jointly funded by the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration.
