Kunlun differs in critical ways from other known hydrothermal systems. Instead of being driven by volcanic heat and located along mid-ocean ridges, Kunlun’s hydrogen-rich plumes are generated by ...
A human-occupied vehicle (HOV) probing the deep Pacific Ocean has cast a light upon a massive undersea 'metropolis'.
