Species:
Diverse animal communities like these are common at areas of diffuse hydrothermal flow on the East Pacific Rise (EPR). The shimmering water in the foreground indicates a slightly more focused area of hydrothermal fluid flow.

The presence of these animal communities indicates that warm water is being released from the seafloor. 2004 Photograph:Digital Photograph Camera:Digital EPR:9N Vicki Ferrini
The base (and marker) of a well-studied black smoker, named P-vent, within the Axial Summit Trough (AST) of the East Pacific Rise (EPR). The orange/yellow colors in this image suggest the presence of metal oxide similar to rust. The white material may be a film-like microbial community.

Species:
A hydrothermal vent structure, named Bio9'' (pronounced, "Bio-9-double prime"), located in the Axial Summit Trough (AST) of the East Pacific Rise (EPR). The device inserted into the black smoker (383 degrees Celcius) is a temperature data logger (HOBO) that used to record vent fluid temperatures over a period of time, up to several years.
