Scientists have found regions of underwater hydrothermal vents, vents that connect to a volcano. They plan on observing how animals interact with these vents. Although if an animal gets into a vent plume their death will be swift due to the water reach 300 degrees centigrade. Scientists are interested at how species one on region are simaliar and different to others. They'll be using a ROV (remotely operated vehicle) called Isis to observe the whole thing. This to me is interesting, to be able to watch how these creatures will react with the system. Especially when the waters are generally cold, but rise to a massive degree.
