![]() These data indicate that the volcano is actively venting warm hydrothermal fluids. A CTD vertical cast above the summit of the volcano showed strong, co-registered thermal, particulate, and oxygen anomalies that extend 50 m up into the overlying water column. This reflector is too deep for stability of methane clathrate, and is interpreted as a zone of high fluid content. However, a very bright reflector is seen at about 400 m depth below the volcano. Subsurface imaging shows a dramatic loss of reflectivity beneath the volcano mound, which may indicate significant mobilization of material. The base is bounded by a narrow moat, partially filled by Holocene sediments that are flat lying older, underlying sediments show steep downwarping towards the sides of the volcano. It is 1.5 km across, has a breached caldera and two small summit craters, and it stands about 30 m above the seafloor. The southern volcano, called Maquinna, lies directly along the southern expression of the left lateral, strike slip Nootka Fault. However, during a Hydrosweep bathymetric survey in July, 2001, and a follow-on sub-surface seismic survey in August two mud volcanoes were imaged along the Nootka Fault, 16-18 km west of Vancouver Island at a water depth of 2500 m. You send me 12 men, I will send you 12 sets of testicles in a bag and we can watch your little whore devour them together.Submarine mud volcanoes are a common feature in margin environments, but few of them have been documented in the Northeast Pacific. ![]() “Please do not misunderstand the situation. Most fantastically baroque threat of the week Much as I admired Delaney’s ability to stalk the east London wastelands with faithful lurcher in tow, this has to go to his decision to commune loudly with the dead during his father’s autopsy. Most magnificently brooding Tom Hardy moment The episode was directed by Kristoffer Nyholm, who also directed The Enfield Haunting and episodes of The Killing, and who revelled in the chance to get up close and personal with the blood and guts of Georgian England. Nice to see veteran Scottish actor David Hayman popping up as loyal retainer Brace.Īlso making the most of a small scene: Franka Potente, who played enterprising brothel madam and squatter Helga. Slimy East India Company representative Thoyt had more than a touch of the Tulkinghorn about him. One thing we do know about her: she loathes her husband, no matter what she claimed in that letter at the end. My money’s on Zilpha, who plays her cards very close to her chest indeed. There is, of course, another possibility here – that the “brother” is really a son, the product of James and Zilpha’s much hinted at union who has been hidden away to avoid scandal.Īlso unknown: who poisoned Delaney Sr and why. And the unknown mother of the mysterious third child, the brother James agreed to pay for but claims he will never see again and who was sent away for reasons as yet unknown. Zilpha’s mother must have been of wealthier stock, or else I can’t believe Thorne would have married her. ![]() James’ Native American mother was apparently thrown in with the purchase of Nootka Sound, and was passed off as Neapolitan by Delaney Sr. He also apparently fathered three children with three different women. Photograph: Robert Viglasky/Scott Free Prodsĭelaney Sr was a man of many parts: shipping magnate, resurrection man, communer with the dead. Making the most of a small scene … Franka Potente as brothel madam and squatter Helga. At this point some of you might be saying – hang on, isn’t that the initial plot of Poldark? Yes it is: if Ross Poldark were a devious diamond-burying devil with an apparently tenuous grip on sanity, a desire to beat most people to a pulp and a deep-held passion for his half-sister. Presumed dead for a decade following the sinking of a slave ship, Delaney is in fact very much alive and heads back to London after his father’s death to settle some scores, claim his inheritance and return to the woman he loves. ![]() As played by Hardy, who is clearly having a ball, Delaney is an unholy cross between Bill Sikes, Heathcliff and Hamlet, with a dash of The Last of the Mohicans’ Hawkeye and a penchant for gruesome curses, ghostly hallucinations and eye-catching graveyard rituals. Our hero, if we can call him such, is James Keziah Delaney, renegade, rebel and owner of a quite magnificent top hat and billowing coat. The year is 1814 and the setting a grubby London stuffed to the gills with schemers and chancers.
