Submarine Deep‐Water Lava Flows at the Base of the Western Galápagos Platform

Abstract To investigate the initial phases of magmatism at the leading edge of the upwelling mantle plume, we mapped, photographed, and collected samples from two long, deep‐water lava flows located at the western base of the Galápagos Platform using the remotely operated vehicle Hercules.
