Description:
As the Monterey Bay Aquarium prepares for the launch of the 2022 exhibit, "Into the Deep: Exploring Our Undiscovered Ocean," MBARI deep-sea biologist Shannon Johnson shares some of her favorite stories about hydrothermal vents and the life that thrives at these magnificent deep-sea habitats. Towering chimneys spew hot, mineral-laden water out of the deep seafloor. The astonishing communities that live on and around the vents have evolved to not only withstand but flourish in the extreme temperature and chemical conditions. Colonies of giant tubeworms, Riftia pachyptila, have a symbiotic relationship with chemosynthetic microbes that convert methane and sulfides from the water into energy for the worms. Bizzare-looking zoarcid vent fish, Thermarces cerberus, live among the tubeworms, feeding on parasites off their tubes. Small Pompeii worms, Alvinella pompejana—the most heat-tolerant animals on the planet—extract minerals out of the scalding vent fluid. Our ocean is the largest home for life on Earth. For more than three decades, MBARI researchers have been exploring the deep ocean with remotely operated vehicles, discovering fascinating ways that creatures have evolved to live in these harsh environments. Now, with more companies looking to extract resources from unique areas like hydrothermal vents, it is more important than ever to study the deep sea and the wonders it holds. There is much to learn in order to manage ocean resources wisely. If we are not careful, there is much to lose before we even know what may be lost.

The browser/computer should not freeze completely! If this happens, please report it with a link to the video. Sometimes videos cannot be downloaded directly in a suitable format, so we have added the ability to convert the file to the desired format. In some cases, this process may actively use computer resources.
You can download a video to your smartphone using the website or the PWA application UDL Lite. It is also possible to send a download link via QR code using the UDL Helper extension.
The most convenient way is to use the UDL Client program, which supports converting video to MP3 format. In some cases, MP3 can also be downloaded through the UDL Helper extension.
This feature is available in the UDL Helper extension. Make sure that "Show the video snapshot button" is checked in the settings. A camera icon should appear in the lower right corner of the player to the left of the "Settings" icon. When you click on it, the current frame from the video will be saved to your computer in JPEG format.
