Scientists have discovered a strange and mesmerizingly beautiful space thousands of feet below the ocean's surface. The otherworldly ecosystem features 75-foot towers containing volcanic flanges that create the illusion of looking at a mirror when one observes the super-hot hydrothermal fluids beneath them. "This is an amazing natural laboratory to document incredible organisms and better understand how they survive in extremely challenging environments." Each dive feels like floating in a science fiction film," Schmidt Ocean Institute Co-founder Wendy Schmidt said in a statement. The team will spend the next few months analyzing samples that were taken before they publicly release their findings.
