WEBVTT 1 00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:10.900 So right now we are at a depth of three 2 00:00:10.900 --> 00:00:13.733 thousand two hundred and seventy five 3 00:00:13.733 --> 00:00:16.800 meters. We are looking at an 4 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:18.800 incredible black smoker hydrothermal 5 00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:21.567 vent chimney. That black fluid coming 6 00:00:21.567 --> 00:00:23.667 out there is likely between three 7 00:00:23.667 --> 00:00:25.667 hundred and four hundred degrees 8 00:00:25.667 --> 00:00:29.000 centigrade. These ecosystems are 9 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:32.633 literally islands or oasis amongst what 10 00:00:32.633 --> 00:00:35.467 is, I mean it is really cliche in 11 00:00:35.467 --> 00:00:37.467 that the deep sea is definitely not a 12 00:00:37.467 --> 00:00:39.033 desert. But relatively, islands 13 00:00:39.033 --> 00:00:41.667 of abundant fauna. Islands of life in 14 00:00:41.667 --> 00:00:44.367 what is usually desert like deep sea 15 00:00:44.367 --> 00:00:50.367 floor. Oh this is so cool, that's twenty 16 00:00:53.067 --> 00:00:55.000 twenty seven meters high? 17 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:57.667 Thirty meters high.
