Sub seeker - News - The Engineer: "The work made it possible to finalise locations for the two critical sites. One is near an area 50 miles off Newport, Oregon, where scientists would like to learn more about the icy methane that collects on or below the seafloor where the Juan de Fuca plate dives beneath North America.
'Our plan is to build the infrastructure that will allow entire generations of scientists to study these deposits firsthand,' said Delaney.
The other site is about 300 miles west of Cannon Beach, Oregon, and in a decidedly different environment. That one is on top of Axial Seamount, the largest active submarine volcano east of Hawaii and north of Baja California, Mexico."
