Caption from 2023 WHOI Wall Calendar, December:
This plush-looking surface is a community of single-celled organisms —filamentous bacteria, and microeukaryotic colonial mats—sustained by hydrothermal vent activity at Axial Seamount. Axial is 300 miles off the Oregon coast, is the world’s best-studied, active underwater volcano, and supports many hydrothermal vent sites. This photo was taken with remotely-operated vehicle Jason on an expedition led by WHOI deep-sea oceanographer Julie Huber to study microbial communities that use chemical energy to support vibrant ecosystems on and below the seafloor.
