Imagine cruising miles below the ocean’s surface and stumbling on a whole new world! Scientists just discovered a massive ecosystem in the hadal zone (think: 19,000+ feet deep) where creatures survive without sunlight, living off methane from cracks in the seafloor. We’re talking clams, tube worms, and microbes that literally make food from gas. This changes what we know about life on Earth—and how the deep sea helps trap carbon. Nature is wild! #Science #DeepSeaDiscovery #OceanMysteries
