A gyre in the brine pool that occupies the crater of Cheops mud volcano, Nile Deep Sea Fan, at 3-km water depth. The gyre is about 2-m across, and shows sulfur-rich white "foam" accumulations, thought to be produced by bacterial activity. This image was taken by RoV Victor during Ifremer's MEDECo cruise in 2007.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
