Tracking microbial life in the hydrothermally influenced deep subsurface of Guaymas Basin
Microbial life in the deep subsurface redefines the limits of life in the face of energy limitation and heat stress. Who survives deep down, and how? A deep-drilling expedition to hydrothermal Guaymas Basin is exploring these questions from multiple angles.

Great dive story! I understand that one dive is really not enough... the archaea in Guaymas Basin are patiently awaiting more visits from the great space ship with the pressure-sensitive and spectacled aliens inside.
