![Presenting another DSBSoc-artist named Véronique Robigou with her painting "Deep Sea Oasis"
Véronique wrote about this artpiece:
"As a marine geologist, I mapped unexplored territories of seafloor and underwater volcanoes with deep submergence vehicle including DSV Alvin. And decades later, vivid, retinal vestiges of ocean landscapes that I explored still inspire my artwork. Deep Sea Oasis is my impression of a fairy castle, hot spring that rises from the inky black, basaltic ocean floor. On a dive with chief scientist J. R. Delaney, and Alvin pilot D. Foster we discovered the High-Rise hydrothermal vent field on July 17, 1991. It lies on the northern segment of the Juan de Fuca Ridge which is a spreading center off the coasts of Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. The Pacific and North American tectonic plates are born at and spread away from this volcanic ridge. Subsequent mapping in September 1991 unveiled spectacular, geyser-like towers gushing unusually large, rising plumes of metal-laden, hot water. These sulfide-rich, mineral edifices are called hydrothermal vents and spew fluids at temperatures up to 400°C [752 °F] through chimneys and upside-down cascading flanges."
