Description :
The remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) Hercules and Argus of O.E.T. (Ocean Exploration Trust) were used to explore the slopes,summits and craters of 17 of the 19 submarine volcanic centres identified on multibeam map of the areawith E/V Nautilus (NA007) in August 2010. In this paper the AA. present some of the most interesting submarine morphological features along the Kolumbo Volcanic Chain, located in a small, elongated, rifted basin northeast of Santorini Island, Greece.
