caption_attribution_description: English: A visitor shark swimming at the Lost City vent field. It's unlikely that the shark lives within the field permanently considering the lack of large prey to sustain it.
context_page_description: The Lost City Hydrothermal Field, often referred to simply as Lost City, is an area of marine alkaline hydrothermal vents located on the Atlantis Massif at the intersection between the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the Atlantis Transform Fault, in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a long-lived site of active and inactive ultramafic-hosted serpentinization, abiotically producing many simple molecules such as methane and hydrogen which are fundamental to microbial life. As such it has generated scientific interest as a prime location for investigating the origin of life on Earth and other planets similar to it.
context_section_description: Lost City is featured in the Disney 3-D IMAX film Aliens of the Deep. The IMAX flange was unnamed prior to the documentary's release, but is extremely recognizable in the film and subsequently picked up the nickname of the video format played in theaters.
  Lost City is also featured in episode 2 of the BBC's documentary Blue Planet II.
  Lost City was featured in a Clive Cussler novel by the same name, "The Lost City".
