near boiling - temperature, silica - rich, fluids that is only found in a terrestrial hot
spring environment.
Many of the deepest branches in Woese's tree, those that join
nearest to the three - way junction of the kingdoms, turned out to belong to organisms that live at high temperatures, as in the fuming

In the context of large - scale variability in the North Atlantic and North Pacific

Behavior of the sea ice over the past winter and the
spring and the large positive temperature anomalies in the Arctic (as high as 20 degrees C over large regions in the past winter) suggest that an extent
near that of the 2012 minimum may occur again if there is large export of sea ice out to the Atlantic
Ocean via the Fram Strait.
