a Location of the Aurora hydrothermal field (black star), together with eight additional hydrothermal plume sources (white stars) identified along the Gakkel Ridge during the 2001 Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge Exploration (AMORE) expedition7. Figure made with GeoMapApp (www.geomapapp.org) using data from the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean69. b Multibeam bathymetric map showing tracklines for three high resolution deep-tow surveys (OFOBS-04, −07 and −08) that passed directly over the Aurora vent site (black star). Colored lines denote tracklines for each deployment, chevrons indicate direction of travel. The multibeam bathymetry displayed here was collected from the RV Kronprins Håkon in 201916 and gridded at 15 m. Black rectangle delineates the area of sidescan sonar survey shown in Fig. 2.
