The Shrimp That Lives Next to 400°C Water

Picture the hottest kitchen on Earth, then put it two and a half kilometers underwater in total darkness. Now imagine something is thriving there by the thousands. In this video, you'll journey to a hydrothermal vent on the ocean floor, where eyeless shrimp, mouthless tube worms, and heat-tolerant Pompeii worms have built an entire ecosystem that owes nothing to the sun. You'll learn how chemosynthesis replaces photosynthesis, how these creatures survive at the razor's edge of 400 degree water, and why this discovery changed where scientists look for life on other worlds.
