Under the sea, in the deep, where fire meets water and life emerges III

View of 'layer cake' fluid venting hydrothermal structure at the Jan Mayen Vent Fields (650 m depth). These structures result from the interaction of seawater circulating through the oceanic crust and the Earth’s internal heat, and supports unique ecosystems that are likely analogues for possible life in other parts of our solar system.
