Black Clouds at Godzilla Hot Vent

23 July 2011: Black smoke spews from the 45m tall Godzilla spire, while lush tubeworm colonies thrive on a neighbouring hot vent in the submarine rift valley of Endeavour Ridge (depth 2130m).

This video was gathered during a NEPTUNE Canada installation and maintenance cruise aboard the R/V Thompson by the deep-sea ROV ROPOS, operated by the Canadian Scientific Submersible Facility.
