Into the Abyss - Chemosynthetic Alien Life

Duration 1h, 0m

The majority of life on the earth is based in a food chain which revolves around sunlight, as plants make food via photosynthesis. In the deep ocean, however, there is no light and thus there are no plants; so instead of sunlight being the primary form of energy, chemical energy is produced via chemosynthesis. This film explores seemingly alien chemosynthetic organisms that thrive in the most extreme and deep ocean environments on planet earth.
