Map of Blake Ridge and the Carolina Rise


Dive sites for Windows to the Deep are the Cape Fear diapir, the Blake Ridge diapir, and the Blake Ridge depression. At each site, scientists will study the chemosynthetic communities, the chemistry of fluids at the sea floor, and the physical processes responsible for flow of methane gas and other fluids.
