How do extremophiles reach deep sea vents?

167 viewsBiologyOther

Deep sea vents have some pretty extreme environments. Apparently some of the organisms found there can’t survive anywhere else. When a new vent is formed, how do creatures colonise it when the temperature of the water between the vents is too cold for these creatures to survive?

It is too cold for them to survive in the sense that a 5 minute trip naked to Antarctica may not kill you, but any longer and you start having problems
