Annotation: Scientists have mapped less than 10 percent of the ridge of underwater
mountains in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. It is here that
95 percent of the volcanic activity on earth occurs. And it is also
where the scientist Rich Lutz has tracked the remarkable evolution
of bizarre creatures that spawn in hydrothermal vent fluids that are
poisonous to most other forms of life. How can life exist in this world
of utter darkness?
For Rich Lutz, a pioneer in marine biology, each dive to the frontier
of the deep holds the possibility of discovering more clues that
might help us learn how life on earth began after our planet was
formed billions of years ago.
