Hot Sun Above, Cold Seeps Below

The temperatures of the deep sea are scarily inconsistent, ranging from boiling to freezing. And there are creatures at home in either.

Bubbling hot seeps and snowy cold ones. Wow.

Working on the Deep Sea Wonders of the Caribbean was not only exciting, it was educational. It was crazy to learn about the hot hydrothermal vents lying deep below, as well as cold methane seeps so frosty they looked like mountains of snow. And both of them are habitats for the weirdest accumulation of sea creatures. My favourites are the octopuses, who are eerily intelligent.

Kudos also to video project leader, Dr. Judith Gobin, and Dr. Diva Ammon, both scientists from T&T, for being the first two female scientists on board the EV Nautilus! Enjoy Episode Three.
