Lithics fragments in post-caldera volcanism: Unravelling the hydrothermal system of Deception Island, Antarctica

Abstract

Isla Decepción (Islas Shetland del Sur) es uno de los sistemas volcánicos más activos de la Antártida, con más de 20 erupciones en los dos últimos siglos y dos periodos de unrest registrados entre 1999 y en 2014-2015. Además, aloja dos bases científicas (Gabriel de Castilla, España ¿ Base Decepción, Argentina), y recibe más de 15.000 visitantes al año. Es por eso por lo que el vulcanismo presente y pasado de la isla ha sido estudiado durante las últimas décadas. Aun así, todavía quedan algunas incógnitas por resolver, como por ejemplo la situación y dinámica del sistema hidrotermal de la isla y sus ramificaciones en superficie. Este trabajo pretende añadir conocimiento sobre el sistema hidrotermal de Isla Decepción mediante el estudio de los fragmentos líticos recuperados de erupciones posteriores al colapso de caldera. Los resultados preliminares muestran que, en algunos líticos, principalmente los recogidos en el NW de la isla, hay cristalización de cuarzo, feldespato potásico y pumpellyita, además de presencia de pirita con hábito cúbico. Estas alteraciones indican temperaturas de más de 250 oC. En la zona NE de la isla también se han encontrado fases como la arsenopirita y el yeso en líticos de la erupción del 1967, que implican circulación de fluidos hidrotermales. Nuestro estudio corrobora la existencia de un reservorio hidrotermal en la corteza superior de la zona central - norte de la isla sugerido anteriormente por distintos modelos geofísicos.

This research is part of the HYDROCAL (PID2020-114876GB-I00) project funded by the MiCIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033. This work represents a contribution to the CSIC Interdisciplinary Thematic Platform (PTI) Polar zone Observatory (PTI-POLARCSIC).
