Crustal overturning in front of East Pond Vent

Detailed Description

Crustal overturning in front of East Pond Vent. The widest swath of liquid is overriding the crust to the right, weighting it and causing it to sink a few seconds later. For some reason, the overturns in the lake have consistently progressed counter-clockwise across the surface.
