Spoiler alert: the article, With Mauna Loa’s Eruption, a Rare Glimpse Into Earth, closes with Orcutt's wry observation “You can’t hold back the magma forever.”

Check out the recent photo from RV Thompson, which is on its way to 9°50'N East Pacific Rise.  Captured in the picture are four Green Foundation-supported short period ocean-bottom seismometers (OBS), equipped with Nanometrics dataloggers.
