The Alvin being dropped in le ocean



Deep Sea, Deep Secrets is  documentary done on the crew who took the Alvin, the white sub, to the bottom depths of the Mid-Ocean Ridge. Here they explored the hydrothermal vents where there is a large amount of plant and animal life. Usually at these depths this kind of life is unheard of without sunlight, which brings photosynthesis, but tese vents add a whole knew way to living, reproducing, and surviving. All of these creatures live off each other and the plant life around them. It was really cool seeing the different animals and fish that are produced from the vent elements and nutrients. It would be awesome to be able to see something like this in person, but I don't know anyone with a miny sub that can take me on a nice trip.
