40 Years of Hydrothermal Vent Exploration | Nautilus Live

- Forty years ago, a team of researchers including our founder Dr. Robert Ballard discovered hydrothermal vents smoking deep below the Galapagos Islands. This 1977 discovery changed our understanding of Earth processes and the possibilities for life to thrive on this planet.
Hydrothermal vents are fissures in the Earth's surface that spew superheated, mineral-rich water--like geysers fueled by volcanoes! Communities of organisms from tube worms to squat lobsters live off these rich outflows from the planet's core, converting chemicals into nutrients and thriving in the ocean's most extreme environment.
Join Dr. Ballard and the Corps of Exploration as we revisit some of the most spectacular vent systems we've explored--including this year's E/V Nautilus exploration in the Gulf of California.

E/V Nautilus is exploring unknown regions of the ocean seeking out new discoveries in biology, geology, and archaeology. Join us 24/7 for live video from the seafloor and to ask questions of our explorers currently aboard Nautilus: www.nautiluslive.org.

The ocean is such a fascinating place. Thank you for allowing us to see it's beauty.
Wow. Amazing. Now imagine what else is down there that we haven’t seen.
Amazing. Beautiful. Awe inspiring.
More please!
Thank you.
Fascinating. As the commentator says, every scientist must like these vents.
Great to see more exploration from you guys!
Fascinating work I really enjoy seeing this deep ocean exploration. Keep up the good work!
that octopus looked pissed at the end.
Insanely fascinating. Will look at this during the next trip😋
Wonderful.
Awesome footage ! Living in the darkness !
That's very cool. Hot actually
Que impresionante!
looks like that smoke like vent comes out of hell

In other news, oranges are orange because they are orange
@EVNautilus, do any of these creatures move up or down in the water column. Are they all inextricably tied to the vents?
Most of what you find at vents are species only found around vent species. Although sometimes you see other species swimming in from elsewhere.

It is impossible to reduce Hydrogen Sulfide. Life in the vents is mainly due to its oxidationz
WHAT?
330 grad celsius unter wasser?
unglaublich
So, what did the shrimp taste like? 🦐
