Scientists Discover New Life Forms in the Deep Ocean

• Scientists have discovered new ecosystems in the deep ocean.
• Life in extreme conditions is based on chemosynthesis.
• Research was conducted at depths of up to 30,000 feet.

Scientists conducted research in the depths of the Tihiy Ocean, where they discovered unusual organisms that challenge our understanding of life in extreme conditions. The research took place at depths of up to 30,000 feet, where tube-dwelling worms, mollusks, and microbial structures were found.

During the expedition, scientists used a modern submersible to explore deep zones, including the Kuril-Kamchatka and Aleutian trenches. The discovered organisms obtain energy through the process of chemosynthesis, allowing them to survive without sunlight.

The researchers noted that the identified chemosynthesis communities are more widespread than previously thought. It is now evident that life can thrive in the most remote and extreme parts of the ocean.
