Hydrothermal vents
Hydrothermal vents are present in all of the world's oceans in areas associated with tectonic and/or volcanic activity. This process results in extreme environments that are home to high densities of specialized microbes and animals, the study of which may lead to exciting new discoveries applicable to societal needs.
