This movie shows the discovery
of the Champagne vent at
northwest Eifuku volcano,
where bubbles of liquid carbon
dioxide are actively venting
from sea-floor hot springs.
This unusual phenomenon is due
to the fact that the emissions
from NW Eifuku volcano are
particularly gas-rich. The
high pressure at this depth
keeps the carbon dioxide in a
liquid state. Scientist
discovered the Champagne vent
at a depth of 1,607 meters
(5272 feet nearly 1 mile
deep). Video courtesy of
