Not going to look it up but one link a while back said it was guesstimated that there were ONE Million undersea hydro thermal vents. 2012 was a very active year for land based volcanos with 82 eruptions which was a record until 2013 which had 83.. To be honest I am surprised there are not more mass die offs both land, sea, and air... Sad when it happens but it is what it is..
Uturumcu itself is in the same class as Mount St. Helens in Washington state, but its aggressive rise could indicate that a new supervolcano is on the way. Or not. news.sudanvisiondaily.com...

Found a couple articles re: A NOAA Expedition & Scripps Massive Methane Reservoirs off coastline Chile
“At the Chile Triple Junction (CTJ), where the South Chile rise (a ridge crest) is being forced under the methane-rich South American continent, an international team of scientists will explore for tectonically controlled hydrothermal vents, for seep sites of where methane is released, and for novel "hybrid" systems that may yield hot seeps or cool vents.” oceanexplorer.noaa.gov...
“One expedition site is the Chile Triple Junction, where three of the planet's tectonic plates meet. Here the spreading center that typically features hot vents is being dragged into a subduction zone, forcing it under a continental margin with methane seeps. The scientists also will visit the Concepcion methane seep, El Quisco methane seep, and the southern end of the Peru Chile Trench.”
