Part of the 7 Underwater Wonders of the World collection
Hydrothermal vents are fissures on the seabed that discharge geothermally heated water, commonly found near volcanically active areas and mid-ocean ridges. Near the Galápagos, these vents support unique ecosystems that thrive without sunlight, fueled instead by chemical energy from the Earth.
Scientists first discovered these vents near the Galápagos Rift in 1977, a find that overturned assumptions about where life could exist, since the surrounding creatures, including giant tube worms and eyeless shrimp, rely on chemosynthesis rather than photosynthesis for energy. Vent water can reach temperatures over 700°F near its source, cooling rapidly as it mixes with the near-freezing water of the surrounding deep ocean.
