Half-Size Test Frame Camera Dome

The half-size test frame at Axial shows little corrosion and only minor biofouling after nearly a year in the water. A test
plexiglass panel and camera dome were each coated on one-half of their exposed
surfaces with a new material (ClearSignal) intended to prevent attachment
by marine organisms. The material present is very new and thought to be
biological in origin from the "snowblower" vents that became active during
the April 2011 eruption.
