Objective	ARCANTE 2: As part of the geological and structural study of the Lesser Antilles island arc: 1) Control of the existence or not of a hypothetical active submarine volcano off St Lucia ("Hodder volcano"). 2) Establishment of an accurate bathymetric map of the Desirade submarine escarpment, one of the most important in the world and located in a structurally key area of the Lesser Antilles. THERMOSITY: Bathymetric recognition of the west coasts of Martinique and Guadeloupe with a view to the possible installation of an ETM (Energie Thermique de Mers) power plant.
