Description
Astrophysicists theorize that tidal flexing of Jupiter’s moon Europa caused by a slight orbital eccentricity of the moon and the planet’s enormous gravity well generates internal heat in Europa. Calculations show that this heat is sufficient to create a global ocean beneath the surface ice sheets. I have visualized a number of life forms that may live in subterranean hot springs, and these are some of them.
Created in Ultra Fractal using several different algorithms.

Excellent fractal. The plane curve trap you used here i have found very helpful in many fractals i have made. They can tend to over power the other layers without real careful use of lighting, but you have obviously mastered that exquisitely and the result is stunning.
