Caption: Scientists have finalized the locations of two observatory sites, or nodes, for the Regional Scale Nodes Project. The site at Hydrate Ridge gives them a chance to learn more about icy, energy-rich methane deposits and the life found there. On the other side of the Juan de Fuca Plate, a site was selected on Axial Volcano to study the volcanism, hydrothermal venting and other processes there. Companion work in Canada is planned at the north end of the plate.
