WOODS HOLE

Woods Hole

     Woods Hole is a section of the Cape Cod town of Falmouth. A "hole" is a passage way between lands. The term is unique to New England. Woods hole is the water passage between Woods Hole and  Elizabeth Island.

 Located there is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAH). Also located there is the Oceanographic Institute.

 A smoker is an underwater volcanic vent on which bacteria and other life forms live.
