And the ocean researchers, they made this a discovery. It was made by a Chinese-led research team using a submersible at depths around 31,000 feet. And it kind of represents the deepest and the deepest and most extensive communities of these chemical reaction powered life forms known to exist on Earth. And these creatures survive in extreme condition. They're under tremendous amounts of pressure. They're in total darkness. And they get their energy from chemical reactions rather than from the sun. And the researchers' findings were published Wednesday, July 30th, in a journal major. And suggest that chemosynthetic life may be more widespread than scientists originally thought. This is repeater station kilo kilo seven, November Quebec November. The engine identifies the communities that were entrenched in the region of the ocean below, I'd say 20,000 feet, 6,000 meters. And this includes some of the deepest parts of the ocean. And for the most part, some of these ocean depths are largely unexplored.
