Chinese submersible explores previously unknown giant craters at the bottom of the Pacific — and they’re teeming with life

Chinese submersible explores previously unknown giant craters at the bottom of the Pacific — and they’re teeming with life

Chinese researchers have discovered a giant, previously unknown hydrothermal system at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean that could shed light on the origins of life. The Kunlun system, northeast of Papua New Guinea, is made up of 20 large craters, the largest of which is around 5,900 feet (1,800 meters) wide and 430 feet (130 m) deep. These craters …
