Foraging crabs and hungry fish feed on bacteria from giant tube worms near a deep sea vent in the Pacific Ocean.
The vents are actually springs of super-heated water about 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) below the ocean’s surface. They are one of the last frontiers biologists and photographers are working to record.

What perfect timing. One of my close friends has just been here and I'm meeting her in a bit for morning coffee and a walk and a catch-up (she just got back yesterday). Love the pic,
Tracy
