Underwater photographs of representative deep hypersaline anoxic basin halocline interfaces. a Discovery showing floating garbage (aluminum beverage can and plastic item) atop brine. b Portion of L’Atalante halocline showing embayment. c Urania showing emplaced injector cores (607-608cC and 607-608cD on left; E and F on right). Note the impaired visibility of cores on the right due to the brine (B) murkiness. Cores C and D are in the normoxic control/halocline transition (red arrow). d L’Atalante halocline with emplaced injector cores (611cC and 611cF in the upper halocline (UH) zone; 611cA and 611cB in the mid-halocline (MH)). LH, Lower halocline; N, Normoxic normal saline. Outer diameter of pushcorer is 6.9 cm
