This is what's called a hydrothermal vent.

And this vent fluid is about 600 or 700 degrees F.

And there's a whole new hydrothermal vent community that has been formed.

Here's a tiny, little vent that's come out of the side of that pillar.

There's a funny kind of hot plate here, with vent water coming out of it.

We decided that I can't put a do not enter sign next to the vent.

There are a number of groups that are proposing that life evolved at these vent sites.

But you go back to the same vent eight years later and it can be completely dead.

Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent like new wineskins it is ready to burst.

Behold, my breast is as wine which has no vent like new wineskins it is ready to burst.

Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent it is ready to burst like new bottles.

Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent it is ready to burst like new bottles.

You might film this unbelievable hydrothermal vent, which you think at the time has to be on another planet.

And this kind of life and death of hydrothermal vent communities is going on every 30 or 40 years all along the ridge.

The vent community animals can't really do much about the life and death that's going on where they live, but up here we can.

And that ephemeral nature of the hydrothermal vent community isn't really different from some of the areas that I've seen in 35 years of traveling around, making films.

Although the vent sites are short lived an individual site may last only 10 years or so as an ecosystem they've been stable for millions well, billions of years.

The young thugs who have attacked synagogues come mostly from the ranks of the unemployed and frustrated. They vent their rage at a system that does not integrate them.

Again, discovered by accident. Just two years ago working off Santorini, where people are sunning themselves on the beach, unbeknownst to them in the caldera nearby, we found phenomenal hydrothermal vent systems and more life systems.

And yet, even as nationalistic emotions were suppressed in polite society all over Europe, the soccer stadiums remained stubbornly in the pre WWII world. Just as killing continues to be celebrated in ritualized form in Spanish bull rings, illicit tribal feelings are given full vent in the soccer arenas.

While that may change, the credit for social peace must go to institutions such as elections ( throwing the rascals out is a non violent way to vent popular anger), responsive democratic legislatures, and effective judiciaries. All of these institutions have successfully mediated political conflict during a time of great adversity in advanced countries.

From the public opinion, although the final result is mostly that the persons who forcibly occupy seats are condemned by the public, administratively punished by the public security department, and even included in the blacklist of integrity, the public still feels that it does not vent their hates Why can t the persons who forcibly occupy seats be punished on the spot?

Perhaps their absence made it easier for those who did attend to vent their anger. But business leaders from the real sector and the few labor leaders who work hard at Davos each year to advance a better understanding of the concerns of working men and women among the business community were particularly angry at the financial community s lack of remorse.

Yes, elections also allow many to vent extreme views. There are those who wish for India to become a Hindu Rashtra, a land of and for the Hindu majority those who wish to raise even higher the protectionist barriers against foreign investment that have started to come down and those who believe that a firm hand at the national helm would be preferable to the failures of democracy.

To the Sunni minority, pushed from power by the American invasion and giving vent to their frustration with daily attacks on the Shi a population and their holy sites, Saddam will remain a hero for a long time to come. The Kurds who, like the Shi a, were victimized by Saddam for decades quietly cling to their de facto independence in the north, making sure that they will never again come under Arab rule.
