<br>
Like geysers and hot springs on land, hydrothermal vents form in volcanic regions on the ocean bottom, gushing hot, mineral-rich fluids from beneath the seafloor. Join us to hear what scientists have learned about vents and the surprising organisms that thrive
there and what they can teach us about the origins of life on Earth.<span class="apple-converted-space"> <br>
