Shrimp found near an undersea vent

For all the legitimate fuss about outer space exploration, we know far less about undersea worlds. One relatively new discovery is undersea vents. These essentially consist of very hot water that bursts into surrounding, much cooler ocean water. The environment encourages specific life forms to exist there. It's incredible stuff, and stranger than science fiction can fathom.
If you have time, take a look at a recent BBC report on new discoveries in Captain Nemo's world. It's an easy read, the material is fascinating, and likely to get your imagination to consider our planet from a unique -- dare I say, underwater -- perspective.
