"It was one of the most amazing things in the deep sea. You go down into the bottom of the ocean and you are looking at a lake or a river flowing. It feels like you are not in this world,"
It was believed that the water discovered under the sea is perilous for living things and deep sea creatures. Why is it perilous to the living things? Because it is not a normal saltwater, it is 5 times saltier than the water in the Gulf of Mexico and it contains a high concentration of methane and hydrogen sulfide, in this manner, it cannot combine with the surrounding sea. But there is that can survive in that pool under the sea a bacterial life like tubeworms and shrimp in that condition. And for the sea animals and humans, it will be dangerous and fatal for them because they will not survive.
For the Biologist and Scientist like Cordes, it is a place for their research for their exploration of a certain organism how they can survive in that severe condition of a lake under the sea. Cortes added
"There's a lot of people at these extreme habitats on Earth as models for what we might discover when we go to other planets"
