Galpagos Islands, 2000 Photograph by Emory Kristof 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.

published in, "Deep Sea Vents: Science at the Extreme," October 2000,
National Geographic magazine)    RELATED
