Exploring the Slope of Vailulu'u Seamount | Nautilus Live

- While many dives during the E Mamana Ou Gataifale II expedition (NA165) explored the hydrothermally active caldera of Vailulu'u Seamount, our Corps of Exploration set our sights on understanding more about the entire underwater mountain. The team in two dives explored the deeper slopes of Vailulu’u, from 1500m to the caldera rim above 600m, for the first time since 2005.
From sea cucumbers to sponges and corals to crustaceans, the dive provided chances to see a wide variety of wildlife, including anglerfish like the fan-favorite Chaunacops spp. and impressively-patterned juvenile batfish “rock climbing” a volcanic talus slope. This seamount provides the unique opportunity to study a volcano in it’s early life, estimated to have been erupting only over the last 300,000 years. Check out the winding lava formations like the volcano pillar left behind as fresh lava erupted into cooling fractures in the slope! Along the ascent, the team also discovered a new hydrothermal vent gurgling shimmering warm water at 651 m. With onboard sampling capability from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s SAGE (Sensor for Aqueous Gases in the Environment) instrument, the team was able to measure vent fluids to understand the dissolved gasses rising from the slope. Travel with us on the first dive on the north slope of Vailulu'u and enjoy some of the best moments from this special underwater landscape inside the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa.
The E Mamana Ou Gataifale II expedition was led by Ocean Exploration Trust and funded by NOAA Ocean Exploration, NOAA Office of Marine and Aviation Operations Uncrewed Systems Operations Center, and the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management via the Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute in partnership with the National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa and with support from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and Air/Sea Heritage Foundation.

This is the only channel where I can explore alien worlds
All this is simply amazing. Thank you.
Imagine sitting with likeminded coworkers watching an alien world with the possibility of seeing things nobody has ever seen before... Best job in the world
"What's a moral?" .... "It's a type of fish". I could listen to these guys all day xxxx
I always look forward to seeing these videos. Fantastic camera work. Amazingly clear and sharp. So much to learn and appreciate. Thank you!
1:34 Absolutely delightful. Between the sheer glee, Pokémon song, and the roundness, there is so much joy here!
Absolutely incredible, and the excitement in everyone's voice just makes it better! What an amazing privilege.
I’m so addicted to this channel .. I fall asleep listening to yall, thank you
its always so wholesome to see them get excited about their favourite marine creatures
That funky jiving 🎉 worm got me loving it all!
the first little critter is adorable
It's the crew interactions that make these so enjoyable!
They are sooo CUTE ❤ ...
... those enthused little scientists 😁...
Love It! Thank you for all your work!
I loved the technical jargon ….the gooier bit in the middle 😄
😂 The Waluigi laugh at the end! Love you guys!
The banter was quite enjoyable
I could watch that sea cucumber for hours
lol at the small rostrum jokes!!!
(I have a small rostrum and laugh at these jokes publicly to cover my shame)
😂🦐 That poor shrimp. He has a good heart...i can feel it!
11:49 "I love being ugly ❤" could listen to them all talk science in either serious mode and/or in joking mode 24/7 lol ❤
Oh the awe of my ignorance! Thank you! 🙏🌹
Ya’ll have so much fun. It’s infectious. Love it.
Excited scientists nerding out is music to my ears.
Thank you so much for getting a glimpse of this fantastic world!
Would it be possible to blend in the names of the spezies?
Can you tell me what animal the last in the video is?
What a beautiful seamount. Why are these underwater robots so expensive 😢. If you ever have the chance, I would love a Timelapse of the Nautilus going down from the surface ideally with depth display. Just to get a feeling of how colours and the light slowly fade away till it becomes pitch black.
Lovely footage, as always. Would have been nice if the names of the creatures were displayed on screen too :)
No, columnar basalt has to erupt above water. Very cool dike. Below water the eruption will produce pillow basalt.
you can't convince me that chaunacops aren't the missing link between fish and frog xD
Love this stuff!!!
What is the name of the little red fish ? So cute ! Love it 😆
I REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ❤❤🤩🤩
I didn't know Louise Belcher from Bob's Burgers became a Marine Biologist
Wearing my 15 year anniversary sweatshirt while watching 😊🩵
Probably a silly question, but are you all in a submarine or just taking and remote viewing ?
Not a silly question at all! The folks you hear are all working together inside a control room on the top deck of Exploration Vessel Nautilus while the remotely operated vehicles are deep below. You can always join the conversation and send your questions in to NautilusLive.org
It's a remote operated vehicle
@@EVNautilus thank you kindly. Sounds more like a passion than a job. Lucky you guys !
Thank You for letting us explore with you today.
YOUR SPECIES KILLS EVERYTHING
1000m depth - 100kg/cm². Each cm².
I expect to see similar creatures when we finally get to the ocean floor of Jupiters moon Europa.
Nothing better than nerds nerding out. 😇
Came for the fish
Stayed for the biology lesson
what's that long legged shrimp at the 1:00 mark?
I feel like we got clickbaited by that sea spider. Not that the rest of the video wasn't fascinating.
I can't tell what the red organism everyone loved is called, and I need to know how to spell it so I can google them!

Hold on. Those rocks have no sea life or marine sediment. They are Recent Volcanic Activity!!!!
Not necessarily. The fragmentary rocks at the beginning are on a slope. They might be falling down from higher up where older material is eroding.
So I guess that means the emplacement of the rocks is in their current place is recent, but they may have been erupted much longer ago.
When they saw the dike, that was in situ, though. That might be a little more recent. However, it's also been eroded out of the ground where it formed, so it can't be modern. Just geologically recent.
Scientists in Movies : "This aquatic organism displays a bloated, lipid-heavy body, creating significant drag and reducing its hydrodynamic efficiency. Its oversized girth impairs streamlining, slowing propulsion through water."
Scientists in Real Life : He's so fat! Man he is soooooo cute.... ohhhhhhhh... gives me cute aggression!
The paper talk is reserved for the papers... boi be chonky
are you hiring? i'll work for free
Wonderfully interesting subject. Appreciate the video, but the women sound like five year olds.
EVERYTHING IS DEAD WHAT DID YOU PEOPLE DO
Arent the laser kind a dangerous for their eyes? 🫣
typically towards the bottom their eyes are more blind than other animals because it’s dark and such. they usually rely on sound and vibrations. not that that makes it okay if it does hurt or anything, i’m just saying
You really get to see some interesting marine life
under the sea here thanks.🫧🐟🌊🐠🫧
