Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 48, No. 1, pg. 24:
Life thrives at hydrothermal vents scattered intermittently along the global chain of volcanic mountains called mid-ocean ridges. The larvae of vent animals, like the limpet or sea snail above, are even smaller than the dot above this i. Scientists are learning how they find their way to vents tens or hundreds of miles away.
