	WHOI : Media Relations : Press Release : Volcanic Activity Discovered at Samoan "Hot Spot" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		"The discovery of a 'smoking' active underwater volcano at the eastern end of the Samoan Island chain is significant because it supports the interpretation of the Samoan islands as a hot spot chain, similar to Hawaii," said Hart.
		Vailulu'u is located at the eastern leading edge of the Samoan ridge and rises from 5,000 meters to within about 600 meters of the sea surface, including a 400-meter-deep and 2-kilometer-wide summit crater.
		Using isotopic tracing techniques, the scientists determined that the volcano was formed by partial melting of materials in the earth's mantle with a characteristically "Samoan" composition or pedigree.
