Figure 10. Vertical temperature profiles at stations to the west and east of the ridge (gray lines) and at station 2544 in the rift zone (red) (1). A temperature maximum exists at a distance of 400 m from the bottom. Three "yo-yo" profiles were made through this temperature anomaly. The profile was not stable during half-an-hour of this repeated profiling. This makes us think that the temperature increase over the bottom is caused by the hydrothermal activity.
