Hydrothermal vents are deep-sea geysers where mineral-rich water supports life without sunlight, discovered in 1977 near the Galápagos. The chemosynthesis ecosystem, with giant tube worms, showed life could thrive on chemical energy, not photosynthesis. This reminds me of my engineering days troubleshooting pump failures in Chennai's complex sewer lines—we’d find unexpected bacterial colonies flourishing in the hottest, most chemical-laden pockets, a hidden world right under the city.
