Black Smokers

The black smoker "candelabra" in 3,300 meters depth at the Logachev hydrothermal field at the mid-atlantic ridge.

Their energyrich sulfur and carbon compounds make black smokers to oases of the deep sea.

Samples and measurements show how unusual the whole system is. The water reaches temperatures of up to 407°C.

Gladly we will provide you with more information, higher resolution and/or further pictures.

We can also offer spectacular video material from black smokers in high resolution.
