Unveiling the Mysterious Deep-Sea World Beneath the Seafloor

Scientists have discovered a hidden ecosystem beneath an undersea volcano, filled with never-before-seen creatures such as worms, snails, and deep-dwelling octopuses. This unique habitat, nestled beneath hydrothermal vents on the East Pacific Rise off Central America, was found when researchers used a robotic arm to scrape away layers of seafloor. The discovery provides fresh evidence of life in extreme environments and highlights the importance of further exploration and protection of the ocean.
