ing chemical substances that emerge from the springs into
nutrients, which the worms use to live.
The bacteria at the bottom of the ocean are the first link
in the food chain. Thanks to these micro-organisms, some
invertebrates able to survive, and some animals, such as the
squid, survive thanks to these invertebrates. The
wealth of species and harmony among them, in
an environment that until recently was
thought to contain no life at all, is tru-
ly amazing.
Also, it was recently estab-
lished that various species are
living near the water leaks on the
ocean floor, which are chemically rich
but cold. Each new study and develop-
ment indicates how little we know
about the richness of the ocean bed.
Bear in mind that submarines used in
deep-sea exploration were developed only
in the last 70 years. The exploring submarines that
dive down thousands of meters have been specially de-
signed by experts from various fields. Similarly, each species
that has lived for millions of years at the bottoms of the
