Merhaba Bulent Bey. I was wondering if I should include the info about life in the pool, but thought it would be of little interest. I was wrong- I should always consider minds like yours. This is what wikipedia says on the subject: Biology Although Champagne Pool is geochemically well characterized only few studies have addressed its role as a potential habitat for microbial life forms. H2 and either CO2 or O2 would be available as metabolic energy sources for autotrophic growth of methanogenic or hydrogen-oxidizing microorganisms. Culture-independent methods provided evidence for filamentous, coccoid and rod-shaped cell morphologies in the hot spring [6] [7] [8]. Two novel bacteria and a novel archaeon have been successfully isolated from Champagne Pool [9]. Bacterial isolate CP.B2 named Venenivibrio stagnispumantis tolerates relatively high concentrations of arsenic and antimony compounds and represents a novel genus and species within the order Aquificales [10]. Thanks for your continued interest in my gallery. Selamlar. Klaudio.			New ZealandNew Zealand Sacred Waters daddo (11541)
