Approximate depth, latitudinal location and general characteristics of hydrothermal vents sampled along the spreading ridge in Lau Basin. Arrows give location of vents with respect to spreading center. Figure inset gives distance in kilometers of each vent relative to one another. The table describes location and previously reported geochemistry of end-member fluids associated with each vent. Bathymetry was generated using GeoMapApp (http://www.geomapapp.org) and plotted in R.
