A large plume of white fluid slowly rises out of one of the craters at the summit of Daikoku.

One of the craters at the summit of Daikoku is over 100 m (more than 325 ft) deep and about 80 m (260 ft) in diameter. A large plume of white fluid slowly rises out of it. Is there a larger pool of molten sulfur at the bottom of this pit? Image courtesy of Submarine Ring of Fire 2006 Exploration, NOAA Vents Program
