在地殼底下融融的岩漿高達攝氏6000度以上,岩漿的輻射作用,就像一股巨大的能量,造就了深海豐富奇妙的生物景觀。透過深海探測潛艇“愛文號”(Alvin)攜帶高科技的儀器、燈光和攝影技術,將三千多公尺下的神秘景觀,盡收在《深海火山》這部影片裡,同時活生生的呈現在我們的眼前。 大西洋有一條中洋脊(Mid-Ocean Ridge),位於3500公尺的海面下,長度有6萬4千多公里,寬度有800公里。中洋脊的熱液噴口,噴湧出含有礦物質、金屬的熱水。在噴口的附近有將近240倍的大氣壓力,溫度的變化從攝氏2度到400度,在這不可能有生物存在的地方,卻發現了奇妙的動物以此為家。例如:在高溫且高毒性的硫化氫環境中,“愛文號”發現了類似拖把狀“龐貝蟲的環節動物”(Alvinella)在我們看來嚴峻的環境中來去自如。 深海的火山系統,就像似烤箱的熱源,它將地殼及海水加熱,同...。American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].。
