A temperature probe is placed in a black smoker. Researchers in Alvin found the vents spewing superheated fluids in 1979 during a research expedition on the East Pacific Rise south of Baja California. Since then black smokers have been found at many vent sites around the world. (©Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
