The Borealis Mud Volcano, 400 metres below the surface, continuously releases methane-rich fluids, creating a unique deep-sea ecosystem that researchers now believe serves as a sanctuary for ...

Researchers discovered the Borealis Mud Volcano, a marine biodiversity hotspot with unique geological and ecological ...

Scientists on the AKMA3 ocean expedition discovered an exceptional underwater feature consisting of a mud volcano in the middle of a large crater 80 miles south of Norway's Bear Island. The volcano ...

A mud volcano, deep beneath the icy waters of the Barents Sea, is flourishing with marine life, scientists have confirmed. The Borealis Mud Volcano, 400 metres below the surface, continuously ...

Unlike conventional volcanoes that erupt with lava, mud volcanoes like Borealis release methane-rich fluids and sediments. These processes shape the surrounding seabed, forming a unique deep-sea ...

One would think that a volcano was not the most hospitable place for living organisms. However, the Borealis Mud Volcano, at ...

In 2023, scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway discovered the Borealis Mud Volcano in the Barents Sea, off the northern coast of Norway, at a depth of 400 meters (1,300 feet).

This island has appeared and disappeared several times since 1861. Located near Azerbaijan, it reappears due to a mud volcano. It rarely stays above water for more than two years. (Image ...

A miles-wide volcano off Oregon’s coast could erupt “soon” say scientists who’ve been tracking it for decades. The Axial Seamount is a massive undersea volcano that reaches more than 3,600 ...

Long-quiet volcanoes in the Cascades region of the Pacific Northwest are still underpinned by large reservoirs of magma, new research finds. The findings have implications for monitoring volcanoes ...
