In 2024, the group of international researchers was discovered at the bottom of Kurilo-Kamchatka and Aleutian Groves of unique communities of marine life living at a depth of 5800 to 9533 meters. The results of the exploration were published in Nature magazine.
The study was conducted by experts from some Russian institutes along with international partners. For research, the Fendouzhe Deep -SEA apparatus has been used.
Scientists have found large groups of living animals living due to chemical synthesis and methane consumption. These communities are dominated by two -piece soft ponds and animals, which can live in extreme conditions without light and food from surface layers.
These are the most profound communities from today. Previously, the record was kept by soft body from Japanese gutters, detected at a depth of 7434 meters.
