Popis:	Signs of mercury input and dispersion in the water mass and the atmosphere over the submarine Piip Volcano have been revealed. The mercury from hydrothermal vents has been found to release mostly as a component of hydrothermalgas bubbles rising throug h the water mass to the sea's surface. The mercury's dispersion and the seawater's enrichment with it is a consequence of the partial dissolution of the gas bubbles. The atmochemical dispersion zone is represented by an area of higher mercury concentration with two maxi� mums shifted in the direction of the wind (northeastward) from the northern and southern peak of the volcano.
