  2. #SquatLobsters Guide Scientists To New #Hydrothermal Vent Field schmidtocean.org/squat-lobster

    "Scientists have discovered a new #HydrothermalVent field... when a Galatheid #crab, also known as a #SquatLobster, came into view. The number of #crabs grew until the #scientists finally arrived on the vent field and were excited to find giant #TubeWorms nestled around the hot water. The Ecuadorian observers onboard the vessel named the vent field Sendero del Cangrejo: Trail of the Crabs.”

  3. Venturing to the Western Galápagos Spreading Center schmidtocean.org/cruise-log-po #HydrothermalVents #Hydrothermal #DeepSea

    "Previous expeditions to Iguanas, Pingüinos, and Navidad vent fields found lush #symbiotic animal communities dominated by giant #tubeworms, #clams, and #mussels that are similar to those along the Eastern #Galápagos Spreading Center, as well as unique #biology, such as abundant yellow skate eggs incubating in warm venting fluid."

  4. 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.
