COSEE Ocean Systems: News
So how on Earth do you cook this? The shrimp that lives in water four times hotter than boiling point.
Description: A new species of shrimp has been discovered living deeper than any seen before in the world's most extreme deep sea volcanic vents. Scientists made the discovery while on an expedition to explore boiling undersea springs - which may be hotter than 450C (842F) - on the Caribbean seafloor. Some 3 miles down, in a rift in the seafloor, exists a volcanic spring known as a 'black smoker', which fires a jet of mineral-laden water more than a kilometre into the ocean above.
