Okeanos Explorer | Expeditions | Mid-Cayman Rise Expedition 2011

$Map showing the operating area for the 2011 Mid-Cayman Rise Exploration. The exploration will focus on the oceanic core complexes that appear to dominate construction of the rift valley walls along much of the Mid-Cayman Rise, and the inner wall of the Cayman Trough fracture zone immediately to the north – investigating the geology, marine life, and hydrothermal systems that these areas might host.$
