Some of those organisms were “red-tipped tube worms”, “ghostly fish”, and “shrimp with eyes on their backs”. These organisms thrived on the absence of sunlight, weird and surprisingly different from normal sea-creatures, if you could even call them that? These vents support these complex ecosystems of organisms that have adapted to the extremely high temperatures of the water. These organisms survive off hydrogen sulfide, also known as rotten egg gas to us humans. These organisms use a process called chemosynthesis to survive. These organisms can survive temps up to 113 degrees Celsius, which is the highest temp recorded that an organism can survive
