First time ever seen by human eyes, the Moytirra vent field. Picture shows chimneys of metal sulphides (black and rust coloured) at 3030m below sea level formed. They are precipitated from hot fluid erupting from the volcanic mid-Atlantic Ridge. The white mineral is anhydrite.

"Irish and UK Scientists Explore Uncharted Deep Sea Vent Field.
New Life Forms Filmed for Upcoming National Geographic Channel Series."
"The Irish-led VENTuRE scientific expedition aboard the Marine Institute's research vessel RV Celtic Explorer has discovered a previously uncharted field of hydrothermal vents along the mid-Atlantic ridge -- the first to be explored north of the Azores. The mission, led by Dr Andy Wheeler of University College, Cork (UCC), together with scientists from the National Oceanography Centre and the University of Southampton in the UK, NUI Galway and the Geological Survey of Ireland, have just returned to Cork from their investigation 3,000 metres below the surface of the sea using the Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Holland 1.
