Type:
The Semenov-5 field lies on the northern slope of the dome structure at depths of 2200–2250 m and is hosted by hydrothermally altered (serpentinized) gabbro-peridotites and fresh basalts. The dimensions of the field are estimated by video profiling to be 1200 × 650 m. No signs of current hydrothermal activity are detected. The dome surface at the southern part of the S-5 area is affected by mass wasting, with coalescing crescent-shaped and steep slump scarps associated with debris deposits downslope .
