This volcano lies at a depth of about 1,500m below sea level. Once thought to be dormant, this volcano suddenly became the center of attention when scientists discovered that it was emitting warm, mineral-rich water, creating ideal living conditions for a diverse ecosystem in the deep sea.

According to experts, the incubation period can be up to 4 years. The temperature from the volcano acts as a natural incubator, helping to shorten the incubation period. Photo: vocal.media.

The egg-laying behavior of Pacific white rays is rarely recorded in the wild. Experts mostly record cases of individual egg-laying on the seabed, rarely detecting thousands of eggs like this time. Photo: earth.com.
