Good work !
I found this video because of a book discussing the future of these bird species - and the rest of the Arctic ecosystem - and I wanted to see and hear them through your amazing work. I hope I can one day travel there and observe them in person. Thank you!
Well done. Keep up the good work!
Learned of McKays snowflakes from Discover magazine article and want to thank you for this delightful video that lets me see and hear them along with all the other creatures on St. Matthew. So educational and well done.

Exactly 🙏🏻
The ones who have the real power the huge corporations don't give a damn. All that matters is huge profits. The planet is being driven to a monumental disaster.
Always touch’s my heart I want too do this when i grow up
😜😩😝😵☠️💀🤑🤑🤑💰💰
best place to escape corona
😘😘😘
Just viewing this video in 3/2020. Beautiful! Proof of global warming and I would hope that the Science channels can add this to future programs that document that problem. 🤞🏼. TY for your work .
👍🏻
What a beautiful place in Alaska, thank you. Was it mentioned what killed all of the birds along the beach? In the video, it said over 250 of them had died.
I often wonder what lies up here. Its a very unexplored part of the world, and i sometimes wonder if this is where the ogopogo came from and got stuck in a lake in BC
Is this a re-post? Seems very familiar. Thank you for sharing. Would love to see more like this in detail.
Perhaps it was the Yellow Sea video I'm thinking of...
Wanna visit to there please 🥰
This is my name Matthew
Is that an eider on the shore at :30-:34?
2019?
👍🏽🇹🇷
Regarding your later statements about a "warming Arctic" and "rapid flux" and "losing the ice that has defined the existence of its inhabitants for a millennia," we read the following fairly recent Washington Post report, quote:
"The Arctic Ocean is warming up, icebergs are growing scarcer and in some places the seals are finding the water too hot, according to a report to the Commerce Department . . . Reports from fishermen, seal hunters and explorers . . . all point to a radical change in climate conditions and hitherto unheard-of temperatures in the Arctic zone. Exploration expeditions report that scarcely any ice has been met with as far north as 81 degrees 29 minutes. Soundings to a depth of 3,100 meters showed the gulf stream still very warm. Great masses of ice have been replaced by moraines of earth and stones, the report continued, while at many points well known glaciers have entirely disappeared. Very few seals and no white fish are found in the eastern Arctic, while vast shoals of herring and smelts, which have never before ventured so far north, are being encountered in the old seal fishing grounds.”
Your comments/responses are welcome.

I don’t understand- what are all these birds being protected from?? Most in that region have no value to humans for exploitation - maybe the protection is for seals etc . and by default the birds in Same region?
I have read of this island in other accounts that render it non-livable for humans. I find that hard to believe, if we plan on living on Mars, a much more inhospitable ecosystem. I think that it could be done with prebuilt or easily assembled living quarters flown in by helicopters. It is uncertain if homegrown eatables will ever be sufficiently abundant there. But, perhaps green houses could be assembled and fed by available steam vents on the island. As to reasons to even try: to prevent Soviet incursions, which are occurring all around Russia. Perhaps as a safety port for Alaska fishing fleets, along with processing and resupplies. A permanent scientific presence to document changes in the ecology as a study to indicate this pattern in other places. A communication site for Alaska Bering Sea vessels, with satellite connections, too. Perhaps a small productive population to help drain off the over population in other areas. I would like to hear of the first child to be born there again, since in many years past. I am old and retired. Would love to be one of the new settlers to develop the place.
So sad about the warming.
Is there any beautiful place we are not destroying?
Who is "we"? A lot of climate change IS NOT man made.
What a magnificent video! Thanks to channel owner. Very much appreciative indeed.
Dear viewers: Just for the sake of clarifying some misconceptions, don’t you all agree that the absolute credit, acknowledgment & gratitude is entitled to (ALLAH) GOD Almighty. The only TRUE GOD. The creator as well as the preserver of the whole universe. Not the alleged Mother Nature! Mother Nature is his creation. And certainly not the big lie EVOLUTION. Isn’t that right?
All species/wonders including human beings haven’t created themselves. GOD Almighty did. No alleged associates/partners with him. Consequently, he must be solely worshipped, feared & praised all time. I am not trying to make someone to convert, it’s up to you. It is your own choice to decide.
Accept my greetings.
I married and then joined defence organisation...2 kids...i always need to work on marriage/community..the lives of women is different if had job before marriage...i hate /jealous such women...
