Annotated record of the detailed examination of Mn deposits observed by the ALVIN submersible over the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the New England Seamounts

In the summer of 1974, upon returning to Woods Hole from the Azores, the submersible Alvin had the opportunity to make brief dives on Corner Rise and the New England seamount chain. This was the first time man had directly viewed the expanse of the Earth between the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the North of the American continent. Single dives were made on seven seamounts: Corner Rise and Nashville, Gilliss, Rehoboth, Manning, Balanus, and Mytilus.

1974年夏季，深潜器阿尔文号（Alvin）从亚速尔群岛（Azores）返回伍兹霍尔（Woods Hole）期间，得以在科纳海岭（Corner Rise）与新英格兰海山链（New England seamount chain）开展短暂下潜作业。这是人类首次直接观测到大西洋中脊（Mid-Atlantic Ridge）与北美大陆北侧之间的广袤海底区域。本次任务共对七座海山各开展一次下潜作业，分别为科纳海岭、纳什维尔海山、吉利斯海山、里霍博斯海山、曼宁海山、巴兰纳斯海山以及贻贝海山。
