We'll be sampling and sticking all sorts of probes in them ... yike....well the ROV's arms will do the actual work. Anyway, it's an alien landscape 4000m below the surface....If you do a search for 'hydrothermal vents' and jason (that's the ROV) you should find lots of cool pix (some I may have taken myself 8-)
