Frozen Planet II (2022)
This six-part series - narrated by Sir David Attenborough - explores the wildlife found in the world’s coldest regions: the Arctic and Antarctic, high mountains, frozen deserts, snowbound forests, and ice-cold oceans. From polar bears to penguins, and from snow monkeys to Siberian tigers, each species must overcome a unique set of challenges to endure its extreme environment.

I love how they look like a mid-rendered image. They are crazy foreign looking, and so smooth in texture that it doesn't look real in a way.
Most accurate description yet 👍
Looks something came out of blender
I thought that was CGI.
@@zZiL341yRj736 it was. All of the underwater 'footage' was cgi.
@@sailingindependence9927 Bruh...
@DarkLight bruh wut? Watch it on a bigger screen, it's fake af
What an outworldely sight, not just from the bottom of the lake, but from the surface aswell! Amazing to be able to see it...
Cgi bruh
They are using CGI...There was NOTHING in the camera view which looked like those hump things or the hersey's kisses things.. Total BS as usual...And if these "scientist" don't know the space program is fake; they're terrible scientist. USAF veteran.
@@TransitionedToAShark They have nothing to gain and plenty to lose by faking footage. Just because it looks surreal doesn’t mean it isn’t real, our planet has an enormous amount of diversity. Also, you can find tons of similar footage from completely unrelated people. I suggest checking out Tyler Mackey, their channel is a goldmine for footage of microbial mats.
@@TransitionedToAShark Clown moment:
That absolutely blew my mind. The scenery is absolutely otherworldly. I can't wait to see what incredible insights it will provide on earth's past!
It's clearly CGI.
@@BlGGESTBROTHER, you're cracked
@@vinniehatcher664 Just calling it how it is.
@@BlGGESTBROTHERRubbish 😂
This a bot?
The fact that these things are growing in the most extreme and remote place on planet Earth is amazing...#TeamProtectOurPlanet...💙🌎💚
rock formation all over the earth...
@@chloeuntrau4588 They are a living organism not rock and they live under 3 metres of ice...💜💛💜
"the most extreme and remote place" for who?
@@chloeuntrau4588 not just rock formation
@@sayochikun3288 For everyine and everything...💜💛💜
This is the most Alien thing yet in a way a very relatable thing that has existed in our imaginations when pondering about undiscovered life forms.. amazing
The best channel in the world. BBC earth 🌍
BBC Mega corporation, in the information field 💕
props to the dedication of this research crew. Absolutely wonderful
This scene is mind blowing. It looks like how bad quality cgi scenes but it’s real and exist under an Antarctica. I hope this sparks us to imagine what are unknown discoveries in other planets.
That was exactly my thought when I saw the first second of the underwater footage. Just incredible.
That's because it IS CGI.
@@sailingindependence9927 dude even if it was fake there’d be better ways than using CGI. Antarctica isn’t the only place that has water covered in ice, and Lake Huron has some really similar looking bacterial mats down in its sinkholes.
but anyways that’s all irrelevant because you’re a dingus and you should shush. If you doubt Antarctica has life like this so much, then how bout you go on an expedition there. And don’t give me that “thEy wON’t leT mE inTO anTArcTIcA bcUz tReATy” because there’s no such rule. Hell, you’ve almost certainly never read the Antarctic treaty.
@Oberon all you dummies sound just alike, lol. You are the one that seems to have reading comprehension issues. If you had read my earlier comments you'd understand that I'm not saying these things don't exist, I'm saying they faked this particular footage, probably because the pussy videographer they sent in to do it freaked out again, like he did in his first dive and after having spent all the money to get that far, they decided to finish it with CGI - which it OBVIOUSLY IS TO ANYONE WITH TWO EYES AND A BRAIN.
lmao what
do you even know what CGI looks like buddy? what about this looks fake to you?
also, *why* would they fake it. what’s their motive to?
also also, that looks like other bacterial mats I’ve seen. I actually grew my own in an anaerobic environment once, and it looked somewhat like a mini-version of this before I accidentally killed it. In another comment thread you argued with a diver who had gone diving near a similar stromatolite colony. so tbf I don’t think there’s any hope for you. but remember, just because you struggle to understand it doesn’t mean it isn’t real. When 99% of people are telling you you’re wrong, you might have to stop being stubborn and accept it. When people start assuming you’re a flat earther because of how insane you sound, you may want to reconsider your life choices.
The cherry on top is that even if the BBC had a reason to fake this, there’s another dive to a very similar Antarctic lake from 10 years ago. You can find the video on a channel called natural history museum. Along with that there’s likely numerous scientific studies on lakes like these, possibly even about ones that haven’t been documented in video.
Beautiful.. stromatolites are amazing. They have evolved on Antarctica with climate change over the geological evolution of the Earth. Evolving through Antarcticas subtropical climates to survive in the present-day Antarctic polar lake waters under the ice.... just love stromatolites. Great work guys.
Hello 👋 how're you doing?
@@Godwinpounds4333Shit....you ?...
Don't find that ancient bacteria that turns humans into zombies
Plot twist: they're already here and done infected us all decades ago.
The last of us vibes
Jesus bacteria
It's all fun and games looking for new species until you find a new bacteria.
Afraid?? Whats happening with this generation don't want to fight zombies worst case scenario you'll turn into one and die which u eventually will.
It could solve the problem of overpopulation u know
I love that flat earthers think this place doesn't exist
What an amazing find. It looks so alien indeed.
This reminded me why many Lovecraft stories involve Antarctica.
Those particular stromatolites look strikingly similar to the begining stages of the fruiting body being developed by many different kinds of fungi.
Facts
Anyone who has taken enough psychedelics knows that there are not coincidences 😉
Wikipedia has an article on this lake. While the water is very alkaline, surprisingly much of it is supersaturated with oxygen. The strange little projections from the stromatolites are formed by a different bacterial community than the stromatolites themselves.
Giant stromatites were common in Earth's early oceans. But they turned smaller when they were pushed into shallow waters.
Must have been everywhere in the Cryoginian period
@anon9579 , what is that? Never heard of that time period before.
@@MrFossil367ab45gfyth It was a period in the Earths past before the Cambrian when the Earth was gripped by an ice age that extended down to the equator I think.
@@MrFossil367ab45gfyth look up snowball earth
@@anon9579, you mean Snowball Earth? Wasn't that when the Earth was a big ball of ice?
Attenborough's voice has really changed as he's got older
Totally, I clicked just to hear his voice and narrate this
a good plot for a new season of X-files
Amazing work. Big respect and thank you.
Beautiful.
Stunning, full respect to every adventurers
Spelling binding thank God for Justin. I was feeling anxious 😰 wow bravery in action 💜
How big are these "Giant" stromatolites? We never get a sense of scale, are they 2 inches or 2 feet?
2 meters
If that doesnt give you the shivers...
'The teams are confined to their tents in the storm'
Hero cameraperson outside the tent filming:
damn those things look like alien life! fascinating!
Amazing
Pillars of creation in our oceans
Rather interesting that human beings need this reassurance that life existed before us, if you know, you know if you dont, you dont....
its the only place on earth where it seems these strange stromatolites managed to outcompete every other form of life,
since for most other lifeforms it would have been too harsh to survive. incredibly curious to see.
I always remember when i just moved down to Florida, I was wanting to check out a space launch. drank my ass off with some guys on the nearest bridge to get the sound and feel of the launch. Never in my wildest imagination did i ever think that rocket was going to send back pictures of cryo volcanic pictures of Pluto. I believe Horizon was the mission it was called. Took over 15 years to get those images back i believe. Space is big! This video is amazing also to see because it would be something like she said on another icey planet. Captured that feeling of adventure as well for me! Great job.
Astonishing!!!
Completely stunning finding. I thought warm temperatures were suitable for such bacteria. In a few days I’ll be visiting the stromatolites in Bacalar. A totally different landscape.
Hello 👋 how're you doing?
I can’t even imagine how cold this is.
Hello 👋 how are you doing?
They are real soldiers for this. I could never do stuff like lol I'm absolutely good on it!
One of the most terrifying work esp when the storm hits
Earth is alive & life is absolutely everywhere, sometimes this vessel twists & turns & takes abrupt maneuvers & Australia can suddenly end up where Alaska is or even where Greenland is or even where England is.
I immensenly appreciate your way of showing what you have been doing.
Fast forward to 6 minutes.
First I've heard of these, and they look incredibly alien
Amazing video, with an amazing narrator!
Great! Hats off your tireless work.👏👏
The more we understand the less we know. Amazing.
"beneath 3 meters of solid ice", looks more like 3 feet , a very interesting video anyway
Its more likely 3 meters. thats only 9 feet and ice gets that thick in many areas away from the poles.
@@frozen-curmudgeon Did you actually bother to WATCH THIS VIDEO? Doesn't sound as though you did....
Awesome video. I wish I were that brave. Thank you
Spent the sunny days setting camp and drilling .
Sent the divers down on the foggy snowy day
What a discovery.
Thanks for this.
These are professionals, they probably made sure non of the crew members had their blood react to heated metal.
mind-blowing "WOW" moment!
Love to watch more about this lake.
AWESOMELY FANTASTIC 🔥🔥🔥
Really Amazing 👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing work
thank you for making this video
There should also be a massive light shining into the hole because when you're underwater you can actually see light if it's the only light source coming in. Probably can't see it for miles but maybe better than nothing
This is just the beginning... Can't wait to see what comes next.
Amazing story .
Imagine it's a giant ancient creature
How do you guys manage the courage to go under!!!!
An excellent view 🌫|🌊...
WoW!!!
Amazing view !!!
did anyone else think those images looked like cgi from a video game?
Really nice video love the information thank you so much for this!!
Looks primordial
Well done. We need more footages :) and up close.
Wow what an awesome sight!
So cool!
That’s insane! Can’t even imagine!
thanks
That fact is actually insane when you think about it. More people have been on the moon than in certain places on earth.
Have a great day
Watching this was soooo informative and wow I kept thinking I was watching National Geographic. Thank you so much for sharing it is appreciated
Wow! Ready to experience the rarely living potential.
I wish there was a way I could volunteer, even if it were to simply watch a tempreture gauge
These peoples are truly warriors, it makes me proud of humankind.
Hmm, these warriors just introduced all kinds of bacteria, etc. that these living fossils have not been exposed to at all. They could easily spread a disease to that lake that kills them all. It's happened before and will happen again, because we humans put ourselves above all other living beings.
Look up Lake Bonney from 50 years ago ;-) we just didn’t have all the fancy video equipment.
6:22 "They first appeared closer in time to the formation of earth, three and a half billion years ago, than the present day". Such a strange way of saying these things appeared nearly two billion years ago.
You skipped over how interesting this is and the information that comes with it. Yeah, other planets exist but here you are presented with something way cooler than another planet and it’s on this planet.
Considering how dangerous the wind/weather can get, why don’t they take shelter in the giant metal shipping container behind the camp? They could even install a portable stove in there *and* install a trap door in the floor to give them much safer access to the ice.
It still amazes me how people can see these life forms and still question if there's life on other planets heck it's likely moons in our own Solar system.
Thank u
Como é fantástico ver estas novidades!! Um continente estranho ..e o que se esconde debaixo do gelo é mesmo incrível e tanto por descobrir no continente mais frio da Terra, bravo e corajoso o trabalho dos cientistas que levantam a ponta do véu na sua árdua tarefa cientifica trazendo à luz o que não se sabia que existia?!
So the diver brang his cameras for nothing. This is clearly CGI
Concordo plenamente consigo acerca da bravura e coragem dos cientistas que enfrentam condições extremas para expandir o nosso conhecimento sobre este continente misterioso. Tal como os cogumelos expandem o seu micélio numa floresta, estabelecendo conexões e nutrindo o ecossistema, nós, seres humanos, expandimos o nosso conhecimento, criando ligações entre diferentes campos e descobrindo novos horizontes.
Doesn't look real! So beautiful!
I would kill to see more of this. Did anyone bring a sample back to the surface? These look nothing like the stromatolites that live on three beaches
Really? I don't get what's exciting or even useful about it
@@jessepaynter3752 Aside from what the video said, the exciting part is how unique it appears. For example, consider nudibranchs. They look like aliens, so people are interested for that reason alone.
@@jacobshirley3457 well as cool as the Ice water boogers are its about as interesting as paint drying. And let's imagine they find life on another planet, if this is the only thing that lives on that planet it is still boring as hell.
Holy shit. I would love to see the dna scan and their cellular structure.
It almost looks like early computer modeling rendering vs actual real life! Crazy
Im not trying to sound crazy but we know what CGI looks like... its kind of more crazy to act like this isnt CGI until we can prove indisputably that it isnt because ALL of this footage looked exactly like early stage CGI or blender shit. idk i dont want to say its all fake but it looks exactly like bad CGI until they directly explain why that is and show way more footage/pictures its going to be a possibility in peoples minds. Ive never seen such CGI looking footage on planet earth EVER even the footage from mars and other planets/moons looks more real than this.
Humans are amazing
Thank you for this video.
How does the water naturally taste?
You have to have dedication
I’m glad I live within visiting distance Lake Huron, because there’s very similar looking bacterial mats in some sinkholes. You can find footage of exploratory dives on TH-cam, it looks a lot like this except less icy!
although, I could be more glad if it wasn’t for the fact that whenever I’m swimming I remember I’m in the same lake as them.
Oh no, I've seen The Thing, I know how this ends. 😜
More seriously; mad props to the diver(s).
Also: for some reason I keep needing reminders that Antarctica has mountains; it's so easy to think of it as a flat white wasteland when it's a weeee bit more interesting than that.
So frosty. 😎
Can be so scary
aahaa a bot
looks like icing in some of the video
I wish I could go to antártica, but there’s no trees…. Maybe next lifetime!
NEXT COME WHEN YOU LIVE IN PRESENT
@@askhinduofficial176 Gibberish means what ? LoL
There is no next lifetime you get one shot
@@eastwood111 says you.
@@askhinduofficial176 put down the pipe
THE EARTH IS FLAT..LIVE WITH IT ❤
Those stromatolites look like CGI, incredible scene, it looks like another world. I guess it is in a way.
Just goes to show you that even as we destroy the earth and our perfect environment, that even after we are gone earth will still harbor life and will carry on without us
Nature will not even notice we are gone
I didn't read the description first, and it took me until the very end to understand "Untersee". I guess it's the same as pronouncing the wonderful Valencian dish as "pie - ella"... Calling it Lake Untersee is also like referring to the big Rio Grande River. Sigh. As always, a wonderful video.
Rio = river
Grande = big
@@Adam-nw1vy Yes. And? You are arguing we should refer to a specific large river as the big Big River River?
@@zweigackroyd7301 🙃
Omg .huge shot out to the team.
I bet we would find likes of these under the Europa's(jupiter's or saturn's?! moon) icy surface.
lake constance is also called lake untersee
we live near it
