Yellowstone National Park News:
Oasis of Life Found in Yellowstone Lake
Researchers discovered an abundance of life near a deep geothermal vent on the bottom of Yellowstone Lake. They used a remotely operated vehicle built by the same man who made the one for Titanic research to survey the floor of the very large cold lake. Near the vent they found moss, worms and shrimp, at a depth of about 100 feet in 90 degree water. (Surface waters rarely exceed 64 degrees Fahrenheit). The warmed vent water contains nutrients, gases, and even poisons.
