Description

I had the privilege and honor to visit these once in a deep-sea submersible. Many in the scientific community believe (with good reason) that this may be where life on our planet began. The image uses a Julia algorithm with a geometric Keratoid Cusp coloring formula for the fish. The hydrothermal vents are derived from a Mandelbrot Herman ring algorithm with Direct Orbit Traps coloring. All done in multiple layers using Ultra Fractal.
