Hydrothermal vent fields and chemosynthetic biota on the world's deepest seafloor spreading centre

Hydrothermal vent fields and chemosynthetic biota on the world's deepest seafloor spreading centre

The Mid-Cayman spreading centre is an ultraslow-spreading ridge in the Caribbean Sea. Its extreme depth and geographic isolation from other mid-ocean ridges offer insights into the effects of pressure on hydrothermal venting, and the biogeography of vent fauna. Here we report the discovery of two hy...
