Its Tail Sits in Water Hot Enough to Cook
About this video
On a ridge of black rock two and a half kilometers beneath the Pacific, a worm no longer than a human hand is living through a contradiction. Its tail rests in water hot enough to cook a lobster—eighty degrees Celsius. Its head, just centimeters away, stays in a cold current near twenty-two. One animal, split between two impossible worlds.
