The "moment of discovery" -- The site where 'chemosynthetic' shrimp and tubeworms were observed together for what scientists believe is the first time in the world. These animals, relying on symbiotic chemosynthetic bacteria, derive energy from chemical processes occurring at hydrothermal vents or seeps on the seafloor, unlike most other life on Earth which relies upon energy from the sun and is termed photosynthetic life.

    So was there a temperature reading there? The fact that shrimp can remain in such an environment is amazing. Thermo non-lability of a full regime of proteins is just wow.
