(A) Map of the Norwegian-Greenland Sea (GEBCO data) with locations of active seafloor spreading centers and the study area. (B) Detailed map of the study area (ship-based multibeam data acquired during cruise MSM109) including the Brøgger Axial Volcanic Ridge (AVR) and the newly discovered hydrothermal active area called Jøtul hydrothermal field. (C) AUV-based bathymetry of the Jøtul hydrothermal field (data acquired during cruise MSM109 and provided by the Norwegian Offshore Directorate). Track lines of ROV dives are shown and track portions, where hydrothermal activity was visually observed, are marked in yellow. Four sites were sampled for fluids during MSM109 and are indicated by circles.
