Hi all, this film was a joy to create! I've just set up a Patreon for any of you interested in supporting my channel: www.patreon.com/naturalworldfacts Even just commenting and watching means the world to me! The growth this channel has seen and the community that's developed is so wonderful.
@Adam Cronin Hey Adam, thanks so much for the kind words! 😁 I wish I was the one capturing the footage, but I source it from a number of marine exploration organisations like NOAA, MBARI and so on, typically from ROV dive recordings (footage taken by robots they send down to record biodiversity and take samples).
Compared when people wanted to go to Mars by Rocket, i prefer discover this mysterious place in the earth. - update : thx for so many replies in my comment section. Sorry for my bad english/gramatically errors. Peace from Indonesia 🇲🇨
i think i’ll have to disagree. in my opinion, though the sea is very much fascinating and interesting, but pales before the vastness and mystique of planets, stars and space in general
EXACTLY .... consider how this cavity is like a hairline per the scale of planet Earth. We're not even sure of the shit EHT has picked up! The best we can do is mathematically extrapolate black hole theory. The SEA is at least a tangible real thing--but probably too scary for that very reason! ;)
Do you have any idea how insane it is for a creature to ingest the minerals on the sea floor. And use its gut to create an organic form of aluminum to armor itself with?? That is straight out of scifi. That's is Incredible. More of this is needed. (WOW) 13K LIKES? THANKS GUYS!!
Do you have any idea how insane I get when people in England, who are supposed to have come up with the English language, and should speak it perfectly, say "aluminium" instead of "aluminum"? They put that extra " i" in there, and make it a 5 syllable word instead of a 4 syllable word. But now as I typed in "aluminum" expecting it to be wrong and have a red line under it, it actually had the word, and there was no red line saying it was wrong! So, I have no idea what to believe now! For over 30 years I have thought "aluminium" was wrong and "aluminum" was right. I don't know what to believe anymore! My world has been turned upside down!
I'm pretty sure that that's just something that they made up for views and controversy. Plastic would completely disintegrate that far down in the ocean because of the water pressure. They sent a probe down there once and it disintegrated before it even reached the bottom. How deep we think the Hadal Zone is is basically just our best guess.
Yea it's like we thought we'd be so proud to know that we have at least one pure and untouched NATURAL place or thing on this planet we call home, but then seeing those unnatural toxic dry land materials down there ALREADY REACHED another remote place of our planet it just makes you realize how TOXIC AND GREEDY AND HOPELESS WE REALLY ARE.
wow, i genuinely thought this was a professional documentary from TV, the fact that you make these videos with footage and information you’ve found online is incredible. thank you!
@@NaturalWorldFacts ignore the stupid comments about the narration, I think it's great! Clear, audible and easy to understand and the music isn't too loud. Great production, well done.
@@onerva. There's also some video game music from Dear Esther by the Chinese Room. You can hear "Always" and "This Godforsaken Aerial", both tiltles in the game ;)
What fascinates me the most is these footages are taken with lights but imagine it without light, it’s total darkness in there you won’t be able to see a thing but these species however are adapted to such extreme and hostile environments, nature is truly a mystery
What makes you think they have adapted? That's ridiculous. They were made that way to exist where they are just the same as you to exist where you are. They have always been there.
What fascinates me is someone with such terrible grammar is even interested in science? Obviously you lack intelligence, I've seen 5 year olds with better grammar. Good for you not caring about your ignorance and sharing it with the world.
One day, millions of years from now, some new primate species will be digging into some rocks and finding fossilized plastic. Thats a really fucking weird thought
There's no pressure on these animals since they are born there. They have the same pressure on their internals as their externals so they are in balance. The pressure comes from taking something sealed down from sea level.
@@ahlsn7346 that’s actually not true, at a certain depth (beyond 6000m, I think) the pressure affects the way proteins in cells can function. Only very few deep-ocean-dwelling creatures have a specific chemical (this chemical is the chemical that gives fish their “fishy smell”) in high enough concentrations to survive.
@@SonKunSama that you can go so long without seeing any life, only to then bump into one of the most bizarre forms of life on the planet, is really cool
@Joe Curr it's hardly ruined. It's just changing. Earth has been smashed into by asteroids, irradiated, and thrown into thousands of years of ice and life has come out on top. Human kind's dominance is simply another hurdle for the planet to jump over. If humanity disappeared tomorrow, it would only take a few dozen millenia for our existence to be buried and forgotten. Life finds a way.
Please never stop making these, as an aspiring marine biologist student I love watching your commentaries! They’re very entertaining and honestly reminds me why I choose to study marine science to begin with!
Aw that’s so good to hear - I wish you all the best in your course and any of your future endeavours!! I’ll make more of these for sure, many more, they’re a joy to create
I think we should be clear about something: " The deepest part " is only the point at which it is accessible, that can be defined, so we may not know the true depth.
The two men who did the first deep dive must be very brave or seriously crazy. Well done to them for putting their lives on the line, so that the people who admire the perfect diversity of creation.
YT has been recommending me such videos after the recent incident of Titan submersible imploding! It's a sign for humanity to not mess with mother nature. It's so fascinating to see the underworld where millions of species are still undiscovered.
I don’t think I could ever go into a submarine and go way down to the bottom of the ocean without having a deadly panic attack. Just the thought of knowing I’m surrounded by millions of gallons of freezing cold, bone crushing, pitch black water filled with all sorts of deadly creatures would be enough to kill me.
I got my divers certification before a trip to Negril, Jamaica for a wedding. The deepest I went was 25 feet. I didn't physically comprehend "water pressure" until I went from 15 feet to 25 feet. It was a claustrophobic feeling. The crystal clear water had a soothing effect, but I only dove twice and haven't done it since. That's a beautiful and deadly world down there, so I'll stick to watching video.
Did only 30ft in Mexico and my perspective on things changed (I'm already a 5"2 women) but jeeze I felt tiiiiinyyy. All of a sudden heights weren't too bad lol
Snorkeling in Philippines was enough for me. Beautiful but i could see the sudden drop off of the bottom into an endless void. Just creepy but also fascinating.
@@supers0nic77omg that sent shivers through me when you said u could see the sudden drop imagine if you had been sucked down into it 😮 u are very brave I like to stay above the water
no matter where you look. if you look closely, even in the most extreme environments, you'll find earth teeming with life. completely mind-blowing. the more i learn the more optimistic and exited i am to find out about life on other planets and moons.
The music used at 02:40 in is from Dear Esther, made by Jessica Curry. I believe it's the track titled "On the Motorway". The rest of the video seems to be Jessica Curry too.
Had swim call over the trench back in the 80s. Being a Midwestern kid used to ropeswings and diving off cliffs into the river, I had no problem diving off the elevator of an aircraft carrier into the deep blue. It was awesome and huge relief to the nasty heat and humidity of the Equator and the ship. I didn't even mind seeing the Marines armed to teeth posted as shark watch. But as I tread water and cooling off I remember looking down into the water all those miles below and started having visions of giant unknown critters...back to the boat I went. Lol ill never forget that.
It was sad to hear that even the deepest of ocean is getting polluted by us. It’s such a beautiful and mystic place with sea creatures that look like they came straight out of a scifi movie. Interesting video.
I'm sure the world is going to change a ton and who knows what our waste will eventually be like, but imagine if our plastic/non-deteriorable trash gathers up all over the ocean floor for like 200 years? that doesn't sound very sustainable, so yeah let's reduce the pollution, plz
@@quackman Actually, scientists do not know how long it will take because it is such a new product. They talk about hundreds of years, but we really do not know. Cannot deny that it will have an effect, plastics should not be in the environment, but I guess it is particularly bad for wildlife when it is still floating, but once it is at the bottom it will go into the ground, and then the enzymes will eventually have to do their magic. There is energy in it, so nature will find a way to extract it out, and once there is such an organism it will thrive and get rid of everything globally. That is at least my hunch, and hope.
The earth will recycle everything in its own good time. Some day the Titanic will disappear too. It will oxidize to the point that it turns to iron ore dust and dissolve to the sea floor and there will be no evidence it was ever there.
it's insane that the distance from the water's surface to the (known) sea floor at the trench is further than the distance an airplane at max altitude flies above the earth's surface.
I am more freaked out that if you’re diving near an oceanic abyssal drop off (Yes like the drop off from Finding Nemo), you could be pulled down into the abyss by strong underwater currents aka down currents and never get back up that wall. It’s also where a lot of predatory sharks hang out.
@@nickie7874 Well, it’s an example of why you NEVER dive alone. It’s not the sharks that are your primary problem, it’s the currents, running low on oxygen etc. I imagine most people would never go near oceanic abyssal drop offs especially ones like the Grand Turk drop off of the Virgin Islands, or the Eagle Ray Pass Drop off of Grand Cayman where the islands are formed from the formation of the Cayman Trench. Luckily, most oceanic abyssal drop offs especially ones off continental land are so far out that most divers don’t have to worry about down currents etc. But oceanic abyssal drop offs are 90% likely to be as close as 5 yards from the shoreline. Hawaii, Caribbean, Bahamas, Mariana islands, Indonesia etc are examples of the oceanic abyssal drop off being not that far from the shoreline as opposed to a continental land like North America, where the oceanic abyssal drop off is 200 miles out from the shoreline etc.
Truly fascinating. I am also amazed at the bravery of Piccard and Walsh, can you imagine seeing and hearing the window of Trieste crack knowing the pressure would kill them instantly if the window failed?
@@Yokai_Yuri I don't think a bullet to the heart kills Instantly, there will be a few seconds where you still feel something because you still have blood and oxygen in your brain. I think complete destruction of the brain goes faster because the entire nervous system gets destroyed. Similar to decapitation, where you still have a few seconds to see and think.
The narrator does a great job of creating an aura of mystery. The depths of the ocean are a truly fascinating thing! Loving this channel's content so far, keep it up!
@@fnamelname9077 as a non-English person, it's hard for me to tell. 40 year old women can voiceact for a 12 year old boy and I can't tell the difference (Ash Ketchum I'm looking at you)
@@harkaranlakhotra2817 I can't tell, either. When I first heard one of Tracy Chapman's songs, I thought she was a guy with a feminine voice, until I heard some of her more expressive songs. I'm curious, because the resplendent "Leo" has not given out much information. Great work, regardless.
Ms. Narrator, Please ignore whatever criticisms may be directed at you. I absolutely LOVE your British & female voice! Such a beautiful and sophisticated voice is very rare and Most welcome for a change!!!!❤ Thank you.
You know whats tougher than those sheets of metals they used for those submersibles? The balls of that cameraman who went with them to take the submersibles external shots.
@@faydulaksono HP Lovecraft was a fantabolous writer of the esoteric aspect of fictional stories, his writing always pointing to human psychology, human behavior and ultimately, human potential. He took a lot of inspiration from Tibetan mysticism, going as far as coining the term "thoughtform" directly from the Tibetan mystical term _tulpas_ in which one forms alternate realities when faced with too much trauma. They call it _fugue_ in psychology, a term David Lynch uses very often. Lynch likewise makes frequent use of Tibetan _tulpas_ in his work, especially Inland Empire and his Twin Peaks.
Those men aboard the Trieste were something else. I remember reading about it. In the article it mentioned that the only way that they would discover a pin prick sized leak in the metal sphere would be the moment a limb of their body would be separated by it. As the insane pressure behind it would cut through them like a nearly invisible laser beam. And although the window cracked, they persevered and continued their quest. When it was time to rise back to the surface, they disconnected the wires to a battery that powered an electromagnet. This magnet held on to the iron ballast on the bottom of the submersible. Even though the ballast dropped to the ocean floor.. the Trieste just refused to rise.. It took another breathtaking moments before she slowly inched her way back to the top. Just astounding.
it was interesting.. know how it stayed afloat? That big tank was full of GASOLINE. which is slightly lighter than water but NOT compressible.. just like water. and that's what supported the bathysphere that hung under it. to rise out of the depths they just dropped some lead. the big question of the day was HOW did they drop that lead? I would think they had some batteries on board that supplied a current that held magnets. lose the current and the magnets dropped their loads. I cannot imagine any other way that would be absolutely safe. that thing had to have a lotta battery power.. looked at the design. basically that's what it was but it used pellets instead of a block. they were held in containment by magnets. so if it lost the magnets the pellets would drop out and the thing would rise to the surface.
If the window cracked the hull would’ve completely imploded in fractions of a second, compressing and liquifying those inside. It wouldn’t cut off their limbs.
@@WarBrah Im an absolute amateur physics nerd getting a degree in history for the purpose of working in archeology and preservation. So this naturally came up at some point in my reading. I remember being distinctly surprised and horrified by the "temperature of the sun" level superheating that briefly occurs due to the friction of oxygen molecules being forced against themselves. when i first learned about it. i mean i suppose its painless but being crushed to jelly, superheated then blown apart nearly to the molecular level in a fraction of a second is, distantly brutal like jesus nature chill out
Your voice is perfect for documentaries. I literally could sit all day listening to you while I draw. There’s so many little things I love about this video like the editing and the audio. I literally could see this being on TV, only it’s way better and way more relaxing.
A pilot once said we were cruising at 36,000 ft. I remember this was how deep the Mariana Trench was. I couldn't believe water could ever get that deep.
I remember being on a flight from London to Mexico City in 1998. It was the 12th of January and as we flew over parts of North America we could see that for miles unlimmited snow covered the earth, 34000 ft below us. I`ve always been interested in `extremes` and therefore knew that the deepest part of the world`s Oceans was further away from a boat that sailed above it than we were from the ground that we were flying over. `Frightening depths.
As a kid, when I was first asked what I wanted to be when I grew up my answer was "sea explorer". Your channel has helped me reconnect to my inherent fascination and love of all marine life. Thank you for your excellent videos!
I think this kind of proves that there can quite easily be life on other planets. If there are alien-like creatures living in waters with pressures that would crush a human in a split-second, imagine the type of creatures that are able to live in other extreme conditions, Europa is thought to have a 10 mile deep ocean, massively more vast than Earths ocean. One can imagine the possibilities of what's living there, and that's just in our solar system alone.
Europa is one of the more likely places in Sols system for there to be life outside the earth. If theres liquid water and heat (which is likely due to tidal forces from its orbit) its almost guaranteed. Life here likely began out there.
I've started seeing a lot more videos about deep sea as I was looking into the Titan sub. This video was absolutely fascinating and I appreciate such a devoted content creator as yourself. Could you please clarify what technologies in particular could benefit from deep sea research? Thanks and have a good day!
Hi! I've been doing the same! it's so interesting as a topic and i had never thought of watching videos like these in the past.. I'm glad to find someone else is doing the same path "thanks to" the videos of the titan :))
@@gaia8676 oh yeah I’m glad to see someone with a similar interest. After I started to look into this. It’s become apparent, why people took on such a high risk with the titan. Looking at life in the deep sea seems like being at a super high tech safari tour :D. And honestly buying a ticket for $250k is a lot cheaper alternative than buying a certified submarine yourself. I would’ve probably backed out once I’d hear about getting bolted in from outside.
Leo, the narrator of this utterly fascinating film is completely beguiling. I could listen for hours in total bliss. Your work is of such an amazing standard that it wouldn't look out of place next to Classics from the god, Sir Attenborough himself.
Waiting for the fish version of : “Surface of ocean - in pursuit of the Elysium” a documentary made possible only by 2 brave underwater fishes that travels 7km from sea bottom to the surface.
What an exceptional video! Beautifully crafted, from the photos chosen to musical layering to your voice, soothing and beguiling but most of all, your writing is superb! I’m literally quite overwhelmed! My area is History (mostly medieval) but I watched an adventure movie with grandson (The Meg) because he wanted to and kept my questions and comments (mostly) to myself! He needs to see this video! To listen to your material! He’s only 13 so possibly he’ll miss the best of what you are offering g but as a whole experience he should. Or miss this, something, hopefully many details and impressions, will remain with him! I’m just so utterly impressed with your work, your voice, phrasing, inflection and emphasis (and you don’t rush thru your words) is absolutely perfect, I rarely find this ‘delivery’ with any material of any genre (ok, one, Pete Kelly, who has 2 YT channels and covers mostly ancient historical topics, lovely phrasing, nothing rushed, his History Time’s best work, for me is on Doggerland), YOUR manner and writing is akin to this, possibly superior as you have a poetic bent!
The narrator is a young man, Leo Richard’s, he has been involved in these science films since he was a child, apparently, from his LinkedIn pix I’d say he’s no more than 20; I love his narration. I’ve taught for years and I’ve heard more poor and completely inadequate speakers than even passable ones, he has good phrasing, his voice neither too deep nor too high - maturity may change that, a man at 20 does not sound the same as at 40 or 60. Most of all he has enthusiasm, he is utterly fascinated by his Subject and yet he does not get overwhelmed by it. On YT I also like Pete Kelly’s History Time (wide variety of topics), his accent is so familiar to me now that I smile remembering when I first heard him, wondering, is he from Yorkshire? He has exceptional phrasing too, different topics however. Dan Davis is another who covers mostly ancient topics as research for his books, he has a deep, commanding voice and his research on par with Mr Richard’s here - lastly, a quirky podcast is Toldinstone, from Prof Garrett Ryan out of Chicago, great sense of humour, all his topics are Ancient Rome (sometimes Greece) and usually connected to architecture but peripherally - he is quite amusing and fairly young (30’s?) His voice does take some getting used to as he is a professional academic and has been in front of lecture halls with half asleep students (half sober???) but he’s highly worth your time. Of these gentlemen I’d say Mr Richard’s here is closest to poetic, Ryan a cut-up and Kelly someone with whine I’d love to go hiking thru the Welsh mountains!
What I appreciate about James Cameron is that he's a visionary first and foremost. Cinema just happened to be the outlet that manifested most prominently for him. But his entire life has been about the dream of exploring fantastical worlds and realms beyond human experience. He's always been a man in love with the ocean and it's mysteries and I'm very happy that he got to explore the Marianas. Good on you, Jim. Never stop exploring.
Mariana’s Trench is the scariest and coolest place on earth. I think space and the ocean have a lot in common when it comes to hidden worlds and creatures.
I randomly clicked this video for a random documentary to have for white noise, yet you taught me so much and kept me intrigued the entire video. You have the gift! You also have me as a subscriber forever. Thank you for your wisdom.
Oh awesome, that’s so lovely to hear! I’m so glad you enjoyed enough to subscribe, making these films is a joy and comments like this make it all worthwhile 😊
@studio bauhaus Nature is not worried about one plastic bag but there is already more than one down there, just give it some time and there will be a lot more. Even if creatures down there are good at adjusting I don't think they will find the human plastic bags very helpful. Sowie ich es verstanden habe, hat die Plastiktüte für den Erzähler außerdem auch einen symbolischen Charakter: es gibt keinen Ort auf der Welt, sei er noch so verborgen, den der Mensch nicht zerstören kann.
Watching this, unexpectedly making me calm. The narrator's voice is soo nice, as a marine biologist student, it gives me such a complicated feeling, in a good way.
I'm just waiting for the narrator to break out: "It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the King, took up his father's sword!"
RUclips sudden random recommendation never disappoints! Ended up watching each one of your video. Love how the content is delivered. Bite size, soothing sound and clear and calm voiceover. Thank you. Keep it up with the excellent videos! 💯🎈
I had an intense fear of the ocean, mainly because the deep sea creatures are HORRIFYING at first glance and the vast emptiness. This channel and a different one similar sparked my interest in it and I’ve spent the past few days binge watching these videos. as scary as the sea is, how the creatures work together and the adaptations they’ve grown into is fascinating. so thank you, I’m not as scared anymore :)
The ocean is scary and for a good reason, even if is just a 2 meters deep crystal clear water and there was no creatures whatsoever in a 10 kilometer radius. You are dead if you have to swim for your life.
@@gianz73 I love subnautica and how the firsts hours it plays with the natural fear of the ocean in your mind pretty good. What doesn't make sense is that even at the deepest points under the ocean you can swim like nothing when even the prawn breaks.
I wasn't expect that voice when I first heard that narration.... it's actually a very relaxing voice. You should do like meditiation videos and stuff ha! This is well relaaaxing
Thank you!! :D that’s really lovely to hear! If you’re wanting more vids of a similar vibe (relaxing deep sea), I have a whole deep sea series if you’re interested - ruclips.net/p/PLKzq2xKdfIot0rJTxkzPG7srMQm0sSeIG
My dad fought at the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Philippines during WWII. I asked him whatever became of his ship and he said he was told many of them were sunk in the Mariana Trench. I wonder if the explorers have ever come across one or if that was just a rumor.
We are so lucky to live in this golden age of electronics that makes it possible for us to even watch these amazing informatives videos wich wouldn’t be possible even 20 years ago.
This is not the first time video making exists. There has been such invention through times and destroyed through wars. Just that in our modern day things gets faster, innovated from the innovations of peolple in the past. Don't be surprised if all footages and videos today shall be destroyed again through another major war coming, in which not even us could trace it all back, let alone future generations could.
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. It's a good reason why we should spend time exploring our own planet and understanding and protecting it, rather than spending billions of dollars looking into space exploration.
I personally think both are worthwhile pursuits. But I appreciate Cameron doing it out of genuine curiosity and scientific interest instead of just trying to exploit new markets.
Unfortunately, it would be hard to persuade investors and governments to look in the deep ocean. Mars colonization, space commercialisation, and cosmology (uncovering universal truths) are the interest. Regardless, the deep is certainly amazing. Just imagining an ecology that has adapted to such extreme conditions is exciting.
No, we don't know more about space than our own oceans. We know plenty about the oceans. You are repeating a myth, a romanticization of our supposed unfamiliarity with the oceans. In fact, we know a hell of a lot about our oceans, because we need to and it is in our best interest to know about the oceans. We dive in it, swim in it, we mine minerals and take oil from it, we sail on it, we submarine it, we deep dive it all the time. What you claim to be amazed about escapes me.
I remember watching Blue Planet or Planet Earth and being utterly fascinated by The Deep. This is an alien world and yet it is beautiful. It’s fits well with the tune I heard in the background, the hyme ‘Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee.’
NGL the best part of the video is actually the narrator. It's hard to explain but the tone, voice, accent and more all together got 100% of my attention ❤️.
Awesome video! And I’m so happy to see the unique bacterias on the seafloor being mentioned, too. Microbes in weird environments are remarkable, and without them, none of the cool animals we focus on would be around!
Instead of hearing Lady Galadriel tell the tale of Suron's defeat in the beginning of The Fellowship, I'm hearing Galadriel tell of the Mariana's Trench. I'm down with it.
The narrator is so amazing... And the documentary script is just outstanding... While watching the video, fascinating part was not the facts, but for me the language and narration it was... It's more like a literature documentation than that of a deep sea life.. Mesmerising..
this video's just the perfect thing to fall asleep to and not in a negative or disrespectful way the classical music and exquisite narration is just so relaxing
I started playing this video with intent to doodle and listen, but ended up fully invested with the whole thing! Awesome job! Also thank you for including awareness about trash in the end! Although it got me heated that its happening its important to talk about so we can try to change, prevent, and clean up 💛
It isn't really if you think about it. Planets and moons are fairly easy to observe compared to the deep ocean, not that much in the way. And it's also possible they are far simpler, possibly just interesting rocks in space. Then again, such statements are fairly vague. We can't know how much we really know because we haven't explored everything yet. There might not be that many more discoveries waiting in the ocean while it might be so that we barely scratched the surface of the planets (quite literally). Personally, I think you're right that there is more to find out about oceans than there is about planets and moons in the Solar System, but we wouldn't know for sure.
For the sake of argument, I'm going to say we know a ton, and a ton more, about the ocean depths. We've been studying it for like the last 300 years. Our submarines and research vessels are out there every day. We mine oil and minerals from the ocean. Nothing out there is much of a surprise these days. Maybe every now and then a new fish species arises. So what? This quaint and romantic notion that we know more about the moon etc . . . is I think just nonsense. Horse patootie. The "fact" is we know one heck of a lot about the ocean.
Though the mariana trench is undeniably horrifying, I think it actually has a key advantage over zones abyssopelagic and above. It's physically too extreme even for the absolute nightmares that inhabit those particular zones.
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660could easily be from the Titanic, except the Titanic is in the Atlantic. Now, I'm confused is the Titanic in the Atlantic or Pacific?
I cannot wait to see more oceanic content from you. I just want you to know that I cherish your channel, it’s one of the absolute best and most genuine out there. Your heart is in the script, and editing alike. ❤️
I'm consistently blown away by the quality of your videos, you've got some real talent. Whenever Sir David Attenborough retires, I think we all know where the BBC should be looking next!
came here looking for James Cameron's mission to the mariana after he talked about the ill fated Titan sub disaster. Found this super interesting video. Thanks. The deep ocean is wild.
Two point broke my heart : • Even the furthest depths are within reach of human-driven destruction. • Who knows what vital discoveries might vanish before we come to understand their importance.
@@NaturalWorldFacts Goes very well with the images as well. Not surprising since the track "Always" occurs in the deep ^-^ I'm a big Chinese room fan. You should play Everybody's gone to the Rapture, which Dear Esther is a kind of the prototype of. The music (still by Jessica Curry) is so beautiful! One of my favorite game and soundtrack of all time ;)
@@NaturalWorldFacts Oh no! Recently The Chinese Room has picked up a habit of publishing their game on not so accessible platforms so I feel your pain :'( The game is on PS4 too. They Also did the "Amnesia: a machine for pigs" game and the storytelling and ambiance is nothing short of brilliant (and chilling cause it's a horror game ya know)
Almost 7 miles beneath the surface that is just no pun intended hard to fathom The fact that we can build something that human beings can survive in that can travel that deep is quite the technological achievement.

@Adam Cronin Hey Adam, thanks so much for the kind words! 😁 I wish I was the one capturing the footage, but I source it from a number of marine exploration organisations like NOAA, MBARI and so on, typically from ROV dive recordings (footage taken by robots they send down to record biodiversity and take samples).

I don't think I've seen anything more cursed than a piece of Frozen merchandise at the bottom of the Mariana Trench
The cold never bothered her anyway
You could literally be living at the bottom of the ocean and still have heard about Frozen. There is no escape.
Even the snailfish have ‘let it go’ stuck in their heads
It's pretty depressing, that image needs to blow up.
Source of it being in the deep of the Mariana Trench and not somewhere else?

Seeing the plastic down there is just heart breaking 😢
The people ?
I'm pretty sure that that's just something that they made up for views and controversy. Plastic would completely disintegrate that far down in the ocean because of the water pressure. They sent a probe down there once and it disintegrated before it even reached the bottom. How deep we think the Hadal Zone is is basically just our best guess.
Yeah, it's like there's no hope
Yea it's like we thought we'd be so proud to know that we have at least one pure and untouched NATURAL place or thing on this planet we call home, but then seeing those unnatural toxic dry land materials down there ALREADY REACHED another remote place of our planet it just makes you realize how TOXIC AND GREEDY AND HOPELESS WE REALLY ARE.

That's why most species that are able to survive at such depths are blind.

There's no pressure on these animals since they are born there. They have the same pressure on their internals as their externals so they are in balance. The pressure comes from taking something sealed down from sea level.
Humans would dissolve in less than an hour!
@@ahlsn7346 that’s actually not true, at a certain depth (beyond 6000m, I think) the pressure affects the way proteins in cells can function. Only very few deep-ocean-dwelling creatures have a specific chemical (this chemical is the chemical that gives fish their “fishy smell”) in high enough concentrations to survive.
Takes atleast a million years of evolution and God's plan for it to happen.

I just can't wrap my head around how can a creature withstand such pressure
I got my divers certification before a trip to Negril, Jamaica for a wedding. The deepest I went was 25 feet. I didn't physically comprehend "water pressure" until I went from 15 feet to 25 feet. It was a claustrophobic feeling. The crystal clear water had a soothing effect, but I only dove twice and haven't done it since. That's a beautiful and deadly world down there, so I'll stick to watching video.

Had swim call over the trench back in the 80s. Being a Midwestern kid used to ropeswings and diving off cliffs into the river, I had no problem diving off the elevator of an aircraft carrier into the deep blue. It was awesome and huge relief to the nasty heat and humidity of the Equator and the ship. I didn't even mind seeing the Marines armed to teeth posted as shark watch. But as I tread water and cooling off I remember looking down into the water all those miles below and started having visions of giant unknown critters...back to the boat I went. Lol ill never forget that.

@@quackman Nature will find a way to clean it up, if it can take up aluminum it can do the same to plastic given time.
@@a-dutch-z7351 Are there estimates on how long and what effects it may have in the meantime?
@@quackman Actually, scientists do not know how long it will take because it is such a new product. They talk about hundreds of years, but we really do not know. Cannot deny that it will have an effect, plastics should not be in the environment, but I guess it is particularly bad for wildlife when it is still floating, but once it is at the bottom it will go into the ground, and then the enzymes will eventually have to do their magic. There is energy in it, so nature will find a way to extract it out, and once there is such an organism it will thrive and get rid of everything globally. That is at least my hunch, and hope.
The earth will recycle everything in its own good time. Some day the Titanic will disappear too. It will oxidize to the point that it turns to iron ore dust and dissolve to the sea floor and there will be no evidence it was ever there.
OceanGate sent me
it's insane that the distance from the water's surface to the (known) sea floor at the trench is further than the distance an airplane at max altitude flies above the earth's surface.
I am more freaked out that if you’re diving near an oceanic abyssal drop off (Yes like the drop off from Finding Nemo), you could be pulled down into the abyss by strong underwater currents aka down currents and never get back up that wall. It’s also where a lot of predatory sharks hang out.
@@beazrich2.017 Sounds like nightmare material!
@@nickie7874 Well, it’s an example of why you NEVER dive alone. It’s not the sharks that are your primary problem, it’s the currents, running low on oxygen etc. I imagine most people would never go near oceanic abyssal drop offs especially ones like the Grand Turk drop off of the Virgin Islands, or the Eagle Ray Pass Drop off of Grand Cayman where the islands are formed from the formation of the Cayman Trench. Luckily, most oceanic abyssal drop offs especially ones off continental land are so far out that most divers don’t have to worry about down currents etc. But oceanic abyssal drop offs are 90% likely to be as close as 5 yards from the shoreline. Hawaii, Caribbean, Bahamas, Mariana islands, Indonesia etc are examples of the oceanic abyssal drop off being not that far from the shoreline as opposed to a continental land like North America, where the oceanic abyssal drop off is 200 miles out from the shoreline etc.
Wait what explain that
Commercial aircafts fly at around 41,000 ft. It’s more than the deepest known depth. I for sure don’t wanna know how deep it really goes down

@@faydulaksono HP Lovecraft was a fantabolous writer of the esoteric aspect of fictional stories, his writing always pointing to human psychology, human behavior and ultimately, human potential. He took a lot of inspiration from Tibetan mysticism, going as far as coining the term "thoughtform" directly from the Tibetan mystical term _tulpas_ in which one forms alternate realities when faced with too much trauma. They call it _fugue_ in psychology, a term David Lynch uses very often. Lynch likewise makes frequent use of Tibetan _tulpas_ in his work, especially Inland Empire and his Twin Peaks.

Those men aboard the Trieste were something else. I remember reading about it. In the article it mentioned that the only way that they would discover a pin prick sized leak in the metal sphere would be the moment a limb of their body would be separated by it. As the insane pressure behind it would cut through them like a nearly invisible laser beam. And although the window cracked, they persevered and continued their quest.
When it was time to rise back to the surface, they disconnected the wires to a battery that powered an electromagnet. This magnet held on to the iron ballast on the bottom of the submersible. Even though the ballast dropped to the ocean floor.. the Trieste just refused to rise.. It took another breathtaking moments before she slowly inched her way back to the top. Just astounding.
it was interesting.. know how it stayed afloat? That big tank was full of GASOLINE. which is slightly lighter than water but NOT compressible.. just like water. and that's what supported the bathysphere that hung under it. to rise out of the depths they just dropped some lead. the big question of the day was HOW did they drop that lead? I would think they had some batteries on board that supplied a current that held magnets. lose the current and the magnets dropped their loads. I cannot imagine any other way that would be absolutely safe. that thing had to have a lotta battery power.. looked at the design. basically that's what it was but it used pellets instead of a block. they were held in containment by magnets. so if it lost the magnets the pellets would drop out and the thing would rise to the surface.
If the window cracked the hull would’ve completely imploded in fractions of a second, compressing and liquifying those inside. It wouldn’t cut off their limbs.

I think this kind of proves that there can quite easily be life on other planets. If there are alien-like creatures living in waters with pressures that would crush a human in a split-second, imagine the type of creatures that are able to live in other extreme conditions, Europa is thought to have a 10 mile deep ocean, massively more vast than Earths ocean. One can imagine the possibilities of what's living there, and that's just in our solar system alone.

@@wahmodijiwah4201 Just maybe!
Europa is one of the more likely places in Sols system for there to be life outside the earth.
If theres liquid water and heat (which is likely due to tidal forces from its orbit) its almost guaranteed.

It is not that life can't easily adapt on other planets, it is the emergence of it that is the mystery.

What an exceptional video! Beautifully crafted, from the photos chosen to musical layering to your voice, soothing and beguiling but most of all, your writing is superb!
I’m literally quite overwhelmed!
My area is History (mostly medieval) but I watched an adventure movie with grandson (The Meg) because he wanted to and kept my questions and comments (mostly) to myself! He needs to see this video! To listen to your material!
He’s only 13 so possibly he’ll miss the best of what you are offering g but as a whole experience he should. Or miss this, something, hopefully many details and impressions, will remain with him!
I’m just so utterly impressed with your work, your voice, phrasing, inflection and emphasis (and you don’t rush thru your words) is absolutely perfect, I rarely find this ‘delivery’ with any material of any genre (ok, one, Pete Kelly, who has 2 YT channels and covers mostly ancient historical topics, lovely phrasing, nothing rushed, his History Time’s best work, for me is on Doggerland), YOUR manner and writing is akin to this, possibly superior as you have a poetic bent!
Is it a man or a woman?
The narrator is a young man, Leo Richard’s, he has been involved in these science films since he was a child, apparently, from his LinkedIn pix I’d say he’s no more than 20; I love his narration. I’ve taught for years and I’ve heard more poor and completely inadequate speakers than even passable ones, he has good phrasing, his voice neither too deep nor too high - maturity may change that, a man at 20 does not sound the same as at 40 or 60. Most of all he has enthusiasm, he is utterly fascinated by his Subject and yet he does not get overwhelmed by it.
On YT I also like Pete Kelly’s History Time (wide variety of topics), his accent is so familiar to me now that I smile remembering when I first heard him, wondering, is he from Yorkshire? He has exceptional phrasing too, different topics however. Dan Davis is another who covers mostly ancient topics as research for his books, he has a deep, commanding voice and his research on par with Mr Richard’s here - lastly, a quirky podcast is Toldinstone, from Prof Garrett Ryan out of Chicago, great sense of humour, all his topics are Ancient Rome (sometimes Greece) and usually connected to architecture but peripherally - he is quite amusing and fairly young (30’s?) His voice does take some getting used to as he is a professional academic and has been in front of lecture halls with half asleep students (half sober???) but he’s highly worth your time.
Of these gentlemen I’d say Mr Richard’s here is closest to poetic, Ryan a cut-up and Kelly someone with whine I’d love to go hiking thru the Welsh mountains!

He's always been a man in love with the ocean and it's mysteries and I'm very happy that he got to explore the Marianas. Good on you, Jim. Never stop exploring.
I don't know why, but it feels like I was listening to someone reading a poem. So relaxing 😎.
Wow!.. almost 65 years ago and three times deeper, with a cracked window, they did better than OceanGate 🤷
Mariana’s Trench is the scariest and coolest place on earth. I think space and the ocean have a lot in common when it comes to hidden worlds and creatures.
Space is just way fucking bigger, like wayyyyyyyyyyyy bigger.

I randomly clicked this video for a random documentary to have for white noise, yet you taught me so much and kept me intrigued the entire video. You have the gift! You also have me as a subscriber forever. Thank you for your wisdom.
Oh awesome, that’s so lovely to hear! I’m so glad you enjoyed enough to subscribe, making these films is a joy and comments like this make it all worthwhile 😊
The most dangerous thing in the ocean: The Deep Sea Plastic
Or the deep sea olaf
@studio bauhaus Nature is not worried about one plastic bag but there is already more than one down there, just give it some time and there will be a lot more. Even if creatures down there are good at adjusting I don't think they will find the human plastic bags very helpful.
Sowie ich es verstanden habe, hat die Plastiktüte für den Erzähler außerdem auch einen symbolischen Charakter: es gibt keinen Ort auf der Welt, sei er noch so verborgen, den der Mensch nicht zerstören kann.
@studio bauhaus all those other things are supposed to be there the plastic isn't...
@studio bauhaus I see that I was wrong, sorry. Have a nice day, friend.
God, imagine how many filthy masks are down there too
I can certainly fall asleep nicely to this soothing voice
Watching this, unexpectedly making me calm. The narrator's voice is soo nice, as a marine biologist student, it gives me such a complicated feeling, in a good way.
the music in the background is so elegant
I'm just waiting for the narrator to break out: "It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Isildur, son of the King, took up his father's sword!"
Right?? Hahaha had the same exact thought
Yes I was right there with you on that thought!
Foxx82 are you old enough to understand these videos? 😂
Loooolll
HAHAHA
Who just came here randomly after watching Titan Sub or Titanic-related videos? If we're the same, hello to you!!!
Sup pal😂
RUclips sudden random recommendation never disappoints! Ended up watching each one of your video. Love how the content is delivered. Bite size, soothing sound and clear and calm voiceover. Thank you. Keep it up with the excellent videos! 💯🎈
I had an intense fear of the ocean, mainly because the deep sea creatures are HORRIFYING at first glance and the vast emptiness. This channel and a different one similar sparked my interest in it and I’ve spent the past few days binge watching these videos. as scary as the sea is, how the creatures work together and the adaptations they’ve grown into is fascinating. so thank you, I’m not as scared anymore :)
Learning is how you turn a fear into a friend.
Haha I've been on the same journey.
You should play Subnautica.
The ocean is scary and for a good reason, even if is just a 2 meters deep crystal clear water and there was no creatures whatsoever in a 10 kilometer radius. You are dead if you have to swim for your life.
@@gianz73 I love subnautica and how the firsts hours it plays with the natural fear of the ocean in your mind pretty good. What doesn't make sense is that even at the deepest points under the ocean you can swim like nothing when even the prawn breaks.
This is the most captivating and informative channel I’ve come across in a long time! Keep up the great job! 👏🏻
Well said, Anika! I agree 👍
Your not wrong 🙂
I wasn't expect that voice when I first heard that narration.... it's actually a very relaxing voice. You should do like meditiation videos and stuff ha! This is well relaaaxing
Thank you!! :D that’s really lovely to hear! If you’re wanting more vids of a similar vibe (relaxing deep sea), I have a whole deep sea series if you’re interested - ruclips.net/p/PLKzq2xKdfIot0rJTxkzPG7srMQm0sSeIG
My dad fought at the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the Philippines during WWII. I asked him whatever became of his ship and he said he was told many of them were sunk in the Mariana Trench. I wonder if the explorers have ever come across one or if that was just a rumor.
The Great Mariana Turkey Shoot was one of the most historical battles of WW2.
2500 KM long.. that is a lot of space.
@Doctor Tongue you have issues
@Doctor Tongue ok
He didn’t fight in the war quit capping. That was long ago. Your dad can’t be that old and neither can you 😂
We are so lucky to live in this golden age of electronics that makes it possible for us to even watch these amazing informatives videos wich wouldn’t be possible even 20 years ago.
So true !
@@uresharodrigo5479 Hey ❤️😍
Video itself is sort of a miracle technology
Yet people complain about dumb shit not being appreciative of the small things. This is the secret to life
This is not the first time video making exists. There has been such invention through times and destroyed through wars. Just that in our modern day things gets faster, innovated from the innovations of peolple in the past. Don't be surprised if all footages and videos today shall be destroyed again through another major war coming, in which not even us could trace it all back, let alone future generations could.
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. It's a good reason why we should spend time exploring our own planet and understanding and protecting it, rather than spending billions of dollars looking into space exploration.
I agree.
I personally think both are worthwhile pursuits. But I appreciate Cameron doing it out of genuine curiosity and scientific interest instead of just trying to exploit new markets.
Unfortunately, it would be hard to persuade investors and governments to look in the deep ocean. Mars colonization, space commercialisation, and cosmology (uncovering universal truths) are the interest.
Regardless, the deep is certainly amazing. Just imagining an ecology that has adapted to such extreme conditions is exciting.
@@slashhack1463
Indeed 🙏
I think both are very important. Unfortunately, ocean exploration don't get as much investment as space exploration.
Never cease to amaze me how we have far more advanced technology for space exploration and know more about it than our own ocean.
No, we don't know more about space than our own oceans. We know plenty about the oceans. You are repeating a myth, a romanticization of our supposed unfamiliarity with the oceans. In fact, we know a hell of a lot about our oceans, because we need to and it is in our best interest to know about the oceans. We dive in it, swim in it, we mine minerals and take oil from it, we sail on it, we submarine it, we deep dive it all the time. What you claim to be amazed about escapes me.
I remember watching Blue Planet or Planet Earth and being utterly fascinated by The Deep. This is an alien world and yet it is beautiful. It’s fits well with the tune I heard in the background, the hyme ‘Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee.’
NGL the best part of the video is actually the narrator. It's hard to explain but the tone, voice, accent and more all together got 100% of my attention ❤️.
Aww thank you so much ❤️
Awesome video! And I’m so happy to see the unique bacterias on the seafloor being mentioned, too. Microbes in weird environments are remarkable, and without them, none of the cool animals we focus on would be around!
Bacteria are the true rulers of the planet and they deserve respect
What an incredible voice!
Your voice gives life to this documentary.
Thanks
Instead of hearing Lady Galadriel tell the tale of Suron's defeat in the beginning of The Fellowship, I'm hearing Galadriel tell of the Mariana's Trench.
I'm down with it.
I'm glad i'm not the only person that instantly thought Galadriel is doing nature documentaries now
I..... i can't unhear it now...
Thank you. I was hoping to see this comment
The narrator is so amazing...
And the documentary script is just outstanding...
While watching the video, fascinating part was not the facts, but for me the language and narration it was...
It's more like a literature documentation than that of a deep sea life..
Mesmerising..
this video's just the perfect thing to fall asleep to and not in a negative or disrespectful way
the classical music and exquisite narration is just so relaxing
The narrator's voice is soothing, great choice of music as well.
I started playing this video with intent to doodle and listen, but ended up fully invested with the whole thing! Awesome job!
Also thank you for including awareness about trash in the end! Although it got me heated that its happening its important to talk about so we can try to change, prevent, and clean up 💛
The fact that we know more about the moon and planets in our solar system than we do the depths of the ocean is mind-boggling.
Because alot of parts of the sea are dead areas of empty space, why would we want to explore them?
It isn't really if you think about it. Planets and moons are fairly easy to observe compared to the deep ocean, not that much in the way. And it's also possible they are far simpler, possibly just interesting rocks in space.
Then again, such statements are fairly vague. We can't know how much we really know because we haven't explored everything yet. There might not be that many more discoveries waiting in the ocean while it might be so that we barely scratched the surface of the planets (quite literally).
Personally, I think you're right that there is more to find out about oceans than there is about planets and moons in the Solar System, but we wouldn't know for sure.
For the sake of argument, I'm going to say we know a ton, and a ton more, about the ocean depths. We've been studying it for like the last 300 years. Our submarines and research vessels are out there every day. We mine oil and minerals from the ocean. Nothing out there is much of a surprise these days. Maybe every now and then a new fish species arises. So what? This quaint and romantic notion that we know more about the moon etc . . . is I think just nonsense. Horse patootie. The "fact" is we know one heck of a lot about the ocean.
What a spellbinding and well crafted piece! I enjoyed this immensely - thank you.
I'm 14 and this is deep.
Though the mariana trench is undeniably horrifying, I think it actually has a key advantage over zones abyssopelagic and above. It's physically too extreme even for the absolute nightmares that inhabit those particular zones.
I think seeing all of our garbage sitting all the way down there is horrifying.
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660 same
12:00
Also the Mariana Trench:Disneys hit Frozen merchandise is on display as if it’s that close to civilization still. So weird.
@@pcmasterracetechgod5660could easily be from the Titanic, except the Titanic is in the Atlantic. Now, I'm confused is the Titanic in the Atlantic or Pacific?
@@adeniyi-busayo its in the atlantic so nah, could be from another wreck but it does not matter
I cannot wait to see more oceanic content from you. I just want you to know that I cherish your channel, it’s one of the absolute best and most genuine out there. Your heart is in the script, and editing alike. ❤️
I'm consistently blown away by the quality of your videos, you've got some real talent. Whenever Sir David Attenborough retires, I think we all know where the BBC should be looking next!
Sir David Attenborough would definitely be proud of him, Patrick! 👍
I wrote to him twice as a kid and he replied!! You can imagine my excitement 😂😂
came here looking for James Cameron's mission to the mariana after he talked about the ill fated Titan sub disaster. Found this super interesting video. Thanks. The deep ocean is wild.
This fish 10:42 made me almost choke on my water, gotta love the deep ocean....
Two point broke my heart :
• Even the furthest depths are within reach of human-driven destruction.
• Who knows what vital discoveries might vanish before we come to understand their importance.
I enjoyed every second of this video. The Mariana Trench is the reason why i decided to become a scientist !!
Good luck!!! You got this!!
I found the thumbnail picture interesting. That’s always the image that pops up in my mind whenever I think of the deep sea or mariana trench.
Good joke
Really you're a scientist? Wow
@@jethalalnhk2409 what’s your problem? lmao
I don't know if it's courage or insanity to go that deep, but I'm grateful that they did.
The Dear Esther music fills me with joy! Thank you for the inclusion of our dear Jessica's music!
I’m so glad you recognised it!!! It’s such a beautiful soundtrack for a beautiful game, I couldn’t help myself 💛
@@NaturalWorldFacts Goes very well with the images as well. Not surprising since the track "Always" occurs in the deep ^-^ I'm a big Chinese room fan. You should play Everybody's gone to the Rapture, which Dear Esther is a kind of the prototype of. The music (still by Jessica Curry) is so beautiful! One of my favorite game and soundtrack of all time ;)
I keep meaning to play that, purely because of the reasons you said! But unfortunately unlike Dear Esther it’s not available for mac
@@NaturalWorldFacts Oh no! Recently The Chinese Room has picked up a habit of publishing their game on not so accessible platforms so I feel your pain :'( The game is on PS4 too. They Also did the "Amnesia: a machine for pigs" game and the storytelling and ambiance is nothing short of brilliant (and chilling cause it's a horror game ya know)
They really have! I bought Machine for Pigs only to then realise I can’t play it either 😭😭 i really really want to
When I seen the plastic bags, my heart fell. All I could say is "what have we done."😔
Almost 7 miles beneath the surface that is just no pun intended hard to fathom
The fact that we can build something that human beings can survive in that can travel that deep is quite the technological achievement.
