A picture of my field vehicle.
Here we stopped in a lagoon to have our necessary surface interval
after a morning of intensive underwater work. Later you can view
some pictures of the friendly island kids we met that day.
Venting at Lihir mainly consisted
of a gaseous phase with minor liquid discharge. Water depth is approximately
10 m. We found two types of hydrothermal precipitates: 1) iron sulfides
and 2) dolomite. If you would like to know more about this project
read this.
  
Where ever we went, the islanders
were very freindly. These kids had a blast being photographed. Later
I showed them my scuba diving equipment and let them breathe through
the regulator. Their excitment was enormous.
