Abstract

A new type of hydrothermal vent field in the Atlantic Ocean called Lost City was discovered in 2000. As [Boetius][1] describes in her Perspective, recent detailed mapping of this hydrothermal vent field as well as chemical and microbial analyses ([ Kelley et al. ) ][2] reveal that an extraordinary array of micro- and macro-organisms inhabit the giant white carbonate chimneys of Lost City.
