Bathymetry and interpreted morphology of the study area. (a) Regional, ship-based bathymetry of the TAG Segment (Mid-Atlantic Ridge 26°N). Red box delineates b. White lines mark the spreading axis. (b) High-resolution bathymetry acquired by AUV Abyss overlay on regional bathymetry. Black boxes delineate Supplementary figures. Red lines mark the location of schematic cross-sections A–D shown in Fig. 3, yellow lines indicate the location of seismic profiles shown in Fig. 4. Annotations point out known hydrothermal sites. (c) Seafloor morphology deduced from bathymetry and direct observation. Thick black line corresponds to the spreading axis, thin black lines to major faults and other tectonic elements.
