Purpose
Abstract SO155 was dedicated to the study of volcanism, hydrothermal activity and faunal communities at shallow submarine volcanoes of the Bransfield Strait, Antarctica. Major results of this cruise include the first comprehensive rock sampling in the Eastern Bransfield Basin and the discovery of a spectacular suite of intrusive rocks with disseminated and vein-type pyrite and chalcopyrite which resemble a porphyry-style of alteration and mineralization so far only known from subaerial copper porphyry deposits at active continental margins and in island arcs. Though multibeam data has been recorded no acquisition information have been provided by the responsible party.
