Daikoku Seamount

  • ... that a boiling pond of liquid sulfur was discovered at the summit crater of the Daikoku Seamount in 2006 in the Northern Mariana Islands? Source: "Last night, we came across another extreme of sulfur volcanism in the solar system, a convecting pool of liquid sulfur under more than 40 atmospheres of pressure! At first it was rather difficult to see the pool's surface, because the sulfur was black! However, as we stared through the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Jason's eyes into the pit, a roiling dark surface of partially solidified crust came into focus. This was a rather precarious place for the Jason ROV, but the long experience and confidence of the Jason team once again came through for us. A sulfur sample was obtained by dropping the anchor chain of one of our markers into the lake." [[1]]
    • ALT1: ... that a rare, boiling pond of molten sulfur sits in the summit crater of the Daikoku Seamount in the Northern Mariana Islands?
    • Reviewed:
    • Comment: Boiling sulfur ponds can only be found in 3 places on Earth, Nikko Seamount, Daikoku Seamount (Mariana Islands) and the Macauley Island (Kermadec Islands). Boiling liquid sulfur are usually erupted by volcanoes in Io (moon of Jupiter) rather than volcanoes on Earth, so it is a rare phenomenon to witness here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Reego41 (talk • contribs) 21:08, 8 January 2023 (UTC)

General: Article is new enough and long enough

Policy compliance:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: @Reego41: Interesting article but there's some uncited statements that need to be addressed. Also, the hook's citation seems broken. Onegreatjoke (talk) 21:32, 9 January 2023 (UTC)

  • Hey, thanks for reviewing. I did realize that, no idea why the link broke. I have fixed it. Reego41 14:30, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
    @Reego41: Hey, does "The seamount is located 695 km (432 mi) north-northeast of Saipan, Northern Mariana islands and 665 km (413 mi) south-southeast of Ogasawara Island, Japan. It is located within the sub-region of Micronesia in the Pacific Ocean, which consists of more than 2,000 islands." need a citation because it does seem like it does. Also I need a citation for alt1 Onegreatjoke (talk) 18:11, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
    @Onegreatjoke: Hi, I cited the Geography section. You can use the same citation that I used for ALT0 for ALT1 as well. Reego41 18:36, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
Looks better now. Onegreatjoke (talk) 17:41, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
