Hercules navigates among the huge white chimneys of Lost City

Hercules navigates among the huge white chimneys of Lost City. Many of the towers are only meters apart making it extremely important that the science team knows the ROV's exact location. Precise information is important for identifying the source of rock and water samples. Image courtesy of IFE, URI-IAO, UW, Lost City science party, and NOAA.
