TL;DR Summary

Scientists have discovered the "Lost City Hydrothermal Field" beneath the Atlantic Ocean, an otherworldly environment with towering structures and a unique ecosystem. This hydrothermal field, which has existed for at least 120,000 years, is formed through a geological phenomenon where the upthrusting mantle reacts with seawater, releasing hydrogen, methane, and other gases. The presence of hydrocarbons suggests that life could have originated in similar habitats, not only on Earth but potentially on other celestial bodies. However, the Lost City faces a potential threat from deep-sea mining activities, prompting calls for its recognition as a World Heritage site to protect this natural wonder.
