Discovering an Underwater Lake 6000 Feet Deep

On its maiden mission to the Red Sea, #OceanXplorer made a surprising discovery: a brine pool, over 1700 meters below the surface, teeming with otherworldly life—extremophiles, to be precise, lifeforms that survive in conditions we wouldn’t believe possible on our planet, and which provide clues to how life on Earth began. This is the first ever brine pool discovered in the Gulf of Aqaba, in the northern Red Sea.
