Scientists discover new #ecosystem underneath #hydrothermal vents.

Using an underwater robot, the science team overturned chunks of volcanic crust, discovering cave systems teeming with worms, snails, and chemosynthetic #bacteria living in 25°C water.

Additionally, they found evidence of vent animals, like #tubeworms, traveling underneath the seafloor through vent fluid to colonize new habitats.
