Abstract
The Trans‐Atlantic Geotraverse (TAG) is the largest deep sea hydrothermal vent field found anywhere on the planet. Located on the Mid‐Atlantic Ridge, a seafloor spreading center where new oceanic crust is being created, the TAG field consists of one active high‐temperature mound, one low‐temperature mound, and seven inactive mounds.
