Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 46, No. 3, Pg. 8:
A deep-sea surveying vehicle captured this image of fine grained volcanic shards blanketing the seafloor over a 6.2-square-mile area on the Gakkel Ridge. Grains like these are usually ejected by explosive eruptions and settle eventually through the water onto the seafloor.
