Abstract
⺠Chaos terrains give more information on possible submarine volcanism than other surface structures. ⺠Analysis of blocks at Conamara Chaos suggests that the ice was 2 km thick at the rafts during chaos formation. ⺠The ice at the low level matrix between the rafts was 0.5 km thick during chaos formation. ⺠Submarine volcanic gas released might form bubbles as clathrate decompose close to the surface. ⺠These bubbles may have been trapped and thus observed close to the chaos terrains.
