The life around undersea geothermal vents was inconceivable. Until they found it.

It actually was conceivable since they had all ready found life on ground that relied on geothermal vents. It was the discovery of microorgansms in Yellostone that first hinted at life in really nasty situations. Nobody ever expected to find any life in the 100C water. Today the little buggers are used to make sugar for soda pop and to replicate DNA. ThermophilesNasa article on Yellowstone
