Alkaline hydrothermal vents at Lost City in the Atlantic Ocean, formed by the nonvolcanic process of serpentinization, in which seawater reacts with minerals derived from the upper mantle, such as olivine

Similarly porous vents, circulating reactive fluids through catalytic cells, would have made ideal electrochemical reactors, incubating the origin of life.
