- MARVE (The Marine Virtual Explorer) is a simulation of a research dive in the Alvin submersible to a hydrothermal vent field on the East Pacific Rise. The East Pacific Rise is part of the global mid-ocean ridge system. Mid-ocean ridges are volcanic and, of course, underwater. When you put all the heat and all the water together, you get spectacular hydrothermal activity!
