The volcanic bedrock that is underneath sea hydrothermal vents has an ecosystem of its own. This was found by Schmidt Ocean Institute’s R/V Falkor in a recent expedition.   

While scientist knew that microbial life existed in the see bed, this was the first time that they saw worms and snails in a surprising cool (24°C) just underneath the vents.  

It seems that God can create life on earth, where ever He wishes.
