The Origin - Life around the Hot Spring, (Germany) 4 minMany scientists believe primordial life sprang from geothermal vents in the ocean’s deep trenches. There, a witch’s brew of chemicals, ignited by volcanic infernos in the cold and dark, sparked the creation of organic molecules and proto-cellular forms. Now, meet what evolution has produced: elegant sea creatures that still “hot-tub” at volcanic hot springs—but in the sun-warmed shallows of Sulawesi’s lush reefs. —MJS

Deep Look: Sea Slugs Scrub Seagrass by the Seashore, Mike Seely (USA) 4 minTake a trip to Elkhorn Slough - just north of Monterey, CA - not just to see the cute sea otters, but to learn what keeps their population healthy. Sea slugs may look like lazy, zebra-striped spoonfuls of yellow Jell-O, but one species, eelgrass sea hares, with their voracious appetite for algae are environmental heroes, helping to keep underwater meadow ecosystems in balance and sea otters in abundance. —AB
