Pescadero Basin: Matterhorn Vent Tube Worms | Nautilus Live

True to its name, the Matterhorn vent site towers above the seafloor, topped with a coppery crop of Oasisia tube worms. This dense chemosynthetic community was one of several we surveyed during the Pescadero Basin Expedition in the Gulf of California with research partners at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Dalio Explore Fund.
