En 1985 et 1989, des profils de sismique-réflexion multicanaux ont été enregistrés, au travers le sommet de la dorsale et le flanc oriental. Les résultats préliminaires de ces études documentent, de manière importante, la circulation hydrothermale dans les flancs de dorsale. 1, record 2, French, - profil%20de%20sismique%2Dr%C3%A9flexion%20multicanal
