Vents have been documented in many oceans at Gorgonian corals at the Carlos Ribeiro mud volcano in the Gulf of Cadiz, south of the Iberian Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Van den Hove, S. , Moreau, V. , UNEP-WCMC, HERMES Project.
