Description
The darkness of the seabed at over 500 meters depth was sprinkled with smallwhite sea urchins to create a vista that in the words of the submersible pilot,Colin Wollerman, looked like the Milky Way. The pink and white creatures areprobably a species of holothurian. (Image credit: New Zealand-American Submarine Ring of Fire 2005 Exploration; NOAA Vents Program)
