Abstract
Semi-continuous temperature profiles in the Atlantis II Deep brines revealed a detailed picture of the spreading of the recently detected 59°C brine. This newly heated brine originates in the southwest basin of the Atlantis II Deep and is spreading to its other basins. In some depressions in the basins, relicts of the previous 56°C brine were detected as a bottom layer. In the north basin restricted inflow of the 59°C brine led to a maximum temperature of only 58.2°C. Detailed bathymetry of the Chain Deep area revealed the existence of three nearly or completely separate brine pools with differing temperature profiles; maximum temperatures recorded are 46.2 and 52.4°C, respectively.
