The Aurora Vent Field at the Transition From Magmatic Accretion to Tectonic Extension on Gakkel Ridge: Constraints From Microseismicity and Aeromagnetic Observations
The Aurora hydrothermal vent field (AVF) is the first confirmed active vent system on the Arctic Ocean seafloor, located at the western end of the ultraslow spreading Gakkel Ridge. It marks a distinctive endmember among ridge‐axis hydrothermal systems, where volcanic construction and ultramafic influence co‐exist. Th...
