Scientists on the AKMA3 ocean expedition have spotted an exceptional underwater feature consisting of a mud volcano in the middle of a large crater 80 miles south of Norway's Bear Island. The volcano releases a continuous flow of muddy, methane-rich water and was seen teeming with animal life. The volcano, dubbed the Borealis Mud Volcano, is only the second of its kind ever recorded in Norwegian waters.
