Description: This web page is a press release form the University of Washington relating that a team of scientists led by Deborah Kelly, on Dec. 4 2000, discovered a new hydrothermal vent system that has been named "The Lost City". This unique hydrothermal field is located on an undersea mountain in the Atlantic Ocean and contains towers reaching 180 feet above the sea floor composed of silica and carbonate minerals. This is more than 100 feet taller than the average hydrothermal vents previously observed which are composed of iron and sulfur-based minerals. The web site has high-resolution images of these unique underwater features and has links to the investigators that participated in the discovery.
