(CNN) — Marine researchers exploring extreme depths say they have discovered an astonishing deep-sea ecosystem of chemosynthetic life that’s fueled by gases escaping from fractures in the ocean bed.

The deep sea, covering approximately 65% of Earth's surface, has long been considered a biological desert. In this extreme environment—particularly in the hadal zone at depths greater than 6,000 ...
