The Hidden World of Seamounts
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- Seamounts are important deep sea ecosystems. Breaking the flat monotony of the abyssal plains, these underwater mountains emerge from the mud. Those that rise less than 1,000 m (3,000 feet) above the plains are called abyssal hills, while anything taller is a seamount. And there are at least 100,000 of them, with over half found in the Pacific Ocean near the tectonic plate boundaries. An unsurprising statistic, for Seamounts are formed from volcanism. The same process responsible for the formation of many island chains. At mid-ocean ridges, the converging tectonic plates collide at boundaries called subduction zones. One plate is subducted, or forced down towards the Earth’s molten interior. As it is subducted, the crust melts and becomes magma, which rises through the rock and erupts to form volcanoes and seamounts.

Documentaries like this are what attracts people to study more about our world. It's a shame that so-called documentaries no longer produce content as good as this. Keep up the good work man. You might as well pass the torch of knowledge to the younger generation 👍
It makes me miss old school nat geo and discovery channel
Space travel propaganda
Implies turning our back on the earth in search of another world
Fuck that
I can never commit such mutinous treachery
Protect the earth
Completely agree.
Nat Geo and particularly the Discovery Channel make me switch off within about 30 secs.
Those 30 seconds usually consist of zooms and fast edits going past quicker than the human eye accompanied by royalty free music the tech found by searching “dramatic” and then a VERY LOUD narrator who sounds more like they should be hosting a game show asks a particularly asinine question.
@@rashoietolan3047 NAh, we need both, understanding our own planet but also what's around it (and here I am talking about actual science and not discovery channels "did hidden snake aliens living inside saturn astroproject the blueprints for the pyramids onto the moon 6 million years ago???" bullsh*t "science").
If you do understand our earth so well than you should also know that sadly it won't last forever and especially at the rate things are going, so we need to find a way to "lift the planets burden" a bit and one of the best ways to do that is to look outside of earth.
@@free4fire I volt for exploring the cosmos after we get our situation here figured out , perpetuating our species matters , yes, this is self evidently known …. But we can’t just turn our back on the earth like some child who is done playing with one toy and moving on to the next , no, not after all that the earth has done for us and all the pulchritude and fascination yet to be known in the oceans and caves , with our collective intelligence we can surely accomplish restoration and many other solutions to behold 🤝
man, what I would do to be a 100-year-old piece of coral on the side of David's Seamount, 10,000ft underwater
I know right! Godamn it why was a born a human. All I want to be a is a coral polyp. I can think about nothing, worry about nothing. I just filter feed, puke out sand and then die. A happy life.
Actually coral life is pretty brutal. They basically constantly fight a war for territory with others coral polyps by digesting each other alive.
@@adlantian6334 damn!
@@adlantian6334 not if I’m the only coral >:).

i'm a marine biology graduate currently on a gap year before starting my master's, and your videos spark the same joy that made me pursue marine bio as a career in the first place 🥰 excellent work as always, excited to see more!!
BROTHAR! Glad to see another pursuer of the marine knowledge, hope you make changes in the game as I follow in your awe inspiring shadow oh enlightened one ❤️
Wishing you both the best in your endeavours :D
i just like the shiny fishes :P
I intend on going to college for it myself as well, though first I want to finish getting a feel for college at the local community college
What college do you go to? I’m interested in going for a Marine Bio degree, but I don’t know of any colleges that offer a degree in that specific subject.
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that you are producing some of the most fantastic content on this entire platform.
Thank you so so much Andrew!!
I subscribed to him when he was at about 21,000 subscribers. This was about 4 months ago or so! He has shot to the top and will keep going! I'm kind of bummed because he's not just for us few, isn't that selfish of me? But you are so right on, he is so amazing. His voice, the music,the editing, information, it's all so incredible. He deserves to be seen by all. I'm so happy for him, and he's like 19 year old or so! So proud of him, and I don't even know him! He has such a bright future! I hope our oceans don't turn to poison by then. Sorry to put a downer on things, but I am so worried for the future. Xoxoxo
@@NaturalWorldFacts You're welcome mate!
really though
I agree 100%! The sea is so interesting and there is so much still to be learned.
I (29) have been watching documentaries for as long as i can remember. A narrator can make or break the entire show sometimes, and I gotta say you do an incredible job at narrating these videos. There's an ethereal quality to it and it works especially well with underwater themes.
I've never become a member to anyone on youtube but I'm starting now with this channel. This sort of quality is so hard to come by and I want to see more.
Thank you so much!! This was really lovely to read, I really appreciate the support

You used the Journey soundtrack! One of my favorite soundtracks ever and one of my favorite games ever, nice to hear it here!
So glad somebody recognised it!!! :D
Abzu too! Austin Wintory's video game soundtracks are wonderful
That’s why I was so emotional while watching this film. Abzu soundtrack is also so gooood
Exactly why I came to comment too!! My husband was watching and I'm like THAT'S JOURNEY!!!
Journey was the first game that got me into gaming and half the reason was the amazing soundtrack, very well suited for the video
at first I was like "wait you can ride fish???" now I feel so dumb
You could probably ride a large shark. It probably wouldn’t be too happy about it but you could
@@plate_fox whale shark?
@Vincent Magnin I imagine a giant sea horse and it just drags me with it's large prehensile tale
@@WoodlouseChucker oh yeah forgot those exist

I'm a submarine volcanologist and this is AWESOME! You really captured what it's like to be down in a submersible looking out at this beautiful other-wordly landscape. Axial Seamount is a super cool seamount off the coast of Washington that is home to the first ever cabled array (live data, footage etc) coming straight from the seamount- check it out if you haven't already you'd like it! Thanks so much & can't wait to watch more!
I have never heard of such a cool job before! I would looooove to do the same, I swapped between studying to do volcanology, then considered deep sea /'non' habitable zone life then swapped to boring comp Sci (not boring really, I'm just joking about how people assume computing is boring!! I'm currently waiting on my PhD application, argh. I picked a bad time, AI research is so over subscribed. I'm late by 5-10 years for the best time to have applied
(Sorry if the comment is bad, my brain hasn't woken up enough to do words good lol
Have you seen the abnormal one they just discovered the size of two and a half empire state buildings. It's humongous, like 3,000 feet tall
@Emma McCully I’m actually heading out with OOI on RV Thomas G Thompson to see Axial seamount in the summer this year to make a film!!! Super excited!
@Natural World Facts That's amazing! Good thing I found your channel today, just subscribed. I look forward to the film, are you posting it here?
@@sucka_punch-2000 Welcome to the channel, it’s wonderful to have you here! 😁 Yep, it’ll be posted right here. I have a lot of exciting films lined up so you’ve certainly joined me at a great time. As a little intro, I’m Leo, I’m 20 and studying marine biology at uni, and I make these films and run the channel as a solo project and hobby (but hoping to turn it into a career in professional wildlife documentary making). If you ever have any questions about any films or topics or the deep sea, drop me a comment and I’ll do my best to respond! But of course if it’s more pressing or you’re really keen to get a reply, reach out via the email in my channel’s about page. Enjoy the films!! ☺️
Love that you’ve brought attention to these ecosystems. The deep sea is extremely fragile, unknown, and very much under threat. The only reason sea mounts haven’t been mowed down for their cobalt is because it’s currently technologically impossible. That’s not the case for the manganese nodules and methane seeps located in the abyssal plans and deeper... as a science communicator, you’ve done great. As someone who studies the ocean as my job, I genuinely enjoyed this and didn’t feel like it was too elementary or too complicated. And yes, the inclusion of Austin Wintry was a solid decision :).
Also, at 9:21 you can see a sea spider (pycnogonida), which freak me out because they have like no organs. They share a subphylum (this one being Chelicerata) with Meristomata (horseshoe crabs) and arachnids (spiders, scorpions, and ticks). This particular sea spider is an example of deep sea gigantism, following Bergmann’s Rule, which basically states that you tend to get bigger the colder of an environment you’re in.
That was totally unprompted, I hope you enjoyed my little spiel. I love invertebrates lol.
words cannot describe how much I love this style of narration. the calm, sedating voice, but interesting and captivating topics and images are just so enjoyable. no BS, no stupid cringy forced jokes, no over the top editing, nothing. it just finally feels like a genuine and real video
this feels like a shitty bot comment
I couldn't even begin to imagine blindly diving thousands of feet and just - out of sheer chance alone - that place HAPPENING to be a nursery of hundreds of mama octopi and their thousands of eggs.
The narrator has the most soothing voice for nature videos. And also sounds a lot like Cole from Dragon Age 😂
I also think he sounds like James from "The End of the F****ing World" Oo
Also sounds like the guy from Coffehouse Crime on TH-cam
Sounds like Elijah wood to me, I'd bet my last dollar.
Oh god, now I can't unhear it. No wonder I like his voice so much lmao
@@Marispider Okay, bless somebody for actually agreeing with me finally lmao just replayed DA:I and I can confirm his voice still sounds so much like Cole
This channel is where i come to relax.
They are like the monasteries of Mount Athos, or the temples and shrines of the Himalayas! Without the mountains, these sea animals would have no community. That must be what Sir Attenborough meant when he called them "cities"! It's another triumph, Leo! Thank you!
I love thinking of them as monasteries, monuments and cities! It really does describe not only their importance to marine communities, but their grandeur, their size! Nature is capable of creating such magnificent structures that suit the needs of creatures perfectly. I'm so glad you enjoyed, your feedback means so much.
again, you never cease to entertain me and others. my granpa still loves it and asks if you ever post
That’s so lovely to hear! I hope you both enjoy
@@NaturalWorldFacts we always do
That warms my heart that your grandpa asks about new videos! So sweet!
✨This is was so beautifully done! But then again, all of your content is relaxing and informative. It’s so pleasant to start my day with or wind down for bed to.
Amazing job👍🏾🥰.
Aw thank you so much :)
I instantly recognized the Journey soundtrack, coupled with the soothing narrator it's impossible to ignore.
This is so beautiful, I study animal medicine so I previously considered the ocean only for its flora and fauna but you have expanded my view to see the landscape and environment full of variety and colour. Thank you
I'm so glad that your talking about the ocean. It feels like that we only talk bout th ocean when it comes pollution. It's kind of sad that there are less people willing to study something on our planet and want to go to space for new life, even when haven't found most of it on our own planet. We look for aliens in space but never think about them being in our ocean.
That's what drives about elon musk and his stupid Mars obsession !!I want to say to him, if I could, why dnt you use your big brain and that 120 billion dollars, (that you def dnt deserve or need) to help the planet we actually live on??!! The one that is a trillion times more beautiful and exciting than your red dustball that has NO AIR!!!
We can worry about studying deep sea animals when we're sure there _are_ deep sea animals to be studied.
@@troublewakingup but we don't really know until we look ourselves. Deep sea animals are rarely seen in the shallows. I have nothing against space exploration and it's a good thing, but I hope we can start exploring more of the ocean soon.
@@troublewakingup Did you just insinuate that deep sea life doesn’t exist🧐
@@justintime6242 I insinuated that we're killing nature and soon there won't be any deep sea life to study because it will all be extinct.
I love the slight echo they always add to their voice, it makes it just that much better
Aw thanks :D
It makes it feel youre in like a small, enclosed area with the narrator. Someplace intimate and safe. Very soothing
Other than the ever curiosity-inducing footages of the deep sea, the violin sound was a brilliant addition. Seems like violin sounds are often paired with any voyage to the fathoms below, my first exposure to this pattern was in Bioshock and I just can't forget it.
a lot of the soundtrack in this video is from the games Journey and Abzû, both composed by Austin Wintory. i definitely recommend checking out his stuff if you like to listen to that kind of music!
The octopuses garden blew my mind, how beautiful. Keep them coming please.
Yeah I’m 17 and about to go to college for marine biology and these videos absolutely fascinate me. On behalf of the younger generation, thank you for the hard work and time you put into these videos.
Austin Wintory's music? Good taste.
Glad you noticed it 😉
Thank You for this marvellous episode. You are one of my top 5 favourite narrators ever in the same line with dr. Carl Sagan, Sir David Attenborough, professor Brian Cox, and one lithuanian narrator:) I wish You all the best and please do not stop producing these videos and making thousands of people happy and more aware!!
Nothing makes happier than hearing the Abzu soundtrack in the background and actually learning things that interest me while not being bored
I love your videos man! Even better quality then some tv shows
keep up the great work
Thank you :D
So in love with the music choice in this video... I'm a big fan of Austin Wintory's work and it really elevates the experience!!
Thank you for another great video! I'm very excited for the next one about sea life around islands. Island ecology is one of my chief interests in biology, and I am hoping to finish out my education in Hawaii studying the unique life there. :)
Glad you enjoyed it Cassi! I'm really looking forward to sharing the island vid too, and I must say it sounds like a dream to get to study island wildlife in a place like Hawaii - I really hope that becomes a reality for you. Having done a lot of research into the Hawaiian Islands for the video, it really does look like the perfect place to study island ecology. You're gonna have a blast!
How have you been here for a week????????????
Comment below is from 3 months ago!
@@eamonlyons8318 I pay a monthly fee for a membership, which gives me early access to all of Natural World Facts' videos. :)
Also, you'll notice I have a little icon next to my name when I comment on a video. That indicates my membership and membership level. If you see that next to someone's name on a video, that means they are paying for a membership.
That narrator is fantastic...a voice that sets the mood perfectly!
Watching the nautilus streams was a wild ride.
The first thing I thought was: OMG JOURNEY MUSIC!!! XD
This was great tho! I love these documentaries!
He sounds like Frodo and he's explaining 'the ring of fire'. I can't unhear it.
I love documentaries like this, it's amazing.
I can't get over how good this channel is. Thanks for so much great content.
I'll gladly put up with ads for your content. Everything is perfect. I agree that it was documentaries and shows that used to be like this that made me want me to become a biologist (still interested but now anthropology bound because I greatly enjoy that (also and unfortunately, I've never been very good at chemistry or math) lol). Anyway, the production is great. I love the details of the video from the footage, narration, sounds, like that of the text, the text itself, easy to understand definitions, music choice and alternatively, the absence of annoying, overbearing, unfitting or distracting music or pop-ups in which I can't focus on what I'm seeing. I don't know, I could go on! I've had to edit this a couple times just to add in all the things I appreciate lol. I really really like these videos. It's also very calming and makes me happy if I'm down in the dumps. Thank you for letting me enjoy biology in this way and keeping my love for it going. Thank you. 🙂
This is the kind of programming that should be on tvs everywhere. I’m so glad I stumbled upon this channel. The narrator reminds me of some kind of young Sir David Attenborough. I can only hope that he is somehow aware that you exist. He’d give you his stamp of approval, without a doubt. Content like this is why I’m glad that I got TH-cam premium. I watch more on here than anywhere else.
I'd like to be under the sea, in an Octopus' Garden in the shade~
You beat me to it man😂
Yeah I was about to throw up the lyrics too but I knew somebody had probably already gotten here first!!
i live on an island, so the ocean has always been a huge part of my life...
your videos just make me love and respect the ocean more and more...
"Finally a good new channel emerging with informative and calming contents.."
so glad to see this channel growing, so well deserved ❤
Great track
The BBC needs to hire u to do some documentaries for them
I know right?! He would be so amazing being a narrator for some network show. But at the rate his channel is going, his channel might just get its own network showing or something! I am so excited for him! He really is exceptional
Your documentaries are pure magic, dreamlike.
Captured my little ones' attention.
First class.
Keep up the great work.
The Journey soundtrack in this just makes this OH SO MUCH better!!
Bravo! Beautifully done! I was so happy to see a new video from Natural World Facts. Please keep up your excellent work.
It never crossed my mind that the music from journey would fit so well with the ocean very good taste:)
Absolutely wonderful work as always! 💜💜
So dark even if a Leviathan is right next to you, you'd never know.
Subnautica?
I feel like you'd at least feel the current it makes
This is why I only scuba where I can see the bottom and the water is clear.
This channel is just nothing but quality. Keep up the good work!! We really appreciate people like you who put so much effort into sharing knowledge & wonder about the world.
Y’all thought you could sneak the Abzu soundtrack in there like I wouldn’t notice. What a perfect choice for the BGM
Abzû and Journey both! :D Austin Wintory is just all around an awesome composer.
I use your videos to supplement my marine biology lectures. The students love the footage and info! Keep it up.
The beautiful footage & even better personality & narration makes this channel a GEM!
thank you so much for this series! I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was 18 (I'm now 63) and unfortunately did not follow my dream. I am amazed and mesmerized watching and soaking in all the information and wonderment here!
The science channel should hire you, nothing on that channel even comes close to your videos
Love the use of the soundtrack from Journey! An excellent combination of ethereal music and vistas paired with a soothing voice.
Another great video. I especially appreciate the music you use as it compliments the visuals and your narration very well. Thanks and please keep them coming.
Amazing video! Can't wait for another 👏🏼
I have been recommending this channel to so many of my colleagues at work, I love your content. the absolute best in sea life documentaries. i still need to start looking back further and further
The production of these videos are phenomenal!
I’d recognize Austin Wintory’s music anywhere. He is an amazing composer.
i really love this channel a lot
I can't describe how lucky I am to have found your channel. I've fallen in love with your content - your videos are far more than a slideshow of pictures; your voice is hypnotizing like the songs of sirens, and boy do you have a way of words. All that relaxes me like nothing else. Thank you!
usually underwater footage makes me feel uncomfortable but so far this is great! i love the ocean and i especially LOVE sharks. mostly it’s the just feeling of being in open water lol makes me feel creeped out
What a sheer dedication you really have been managing this channel ever since you were 10 that is something special man good job
Man, the ocean is so mysterious, it's breathtaking
The production value on this is incredible, your voice is gorgeous and this is a subject I never knew about despite loving deep sea documentaries. This is an amazing video
This is the kind of documentary that makes me feel positive about the future of life on earth
Amazing video, especially love the Abzu soundtrack! Really captured the wonder of underwater ecosystems. Abzu was what brought me to this channel, wanted to know the science behind the amazing visuals that it showed players.
Aw this was really lovely to read. Abzu is a beautiful game, so I’m very pleased somebody recognised and appreciated it in this vid :D
This video is just... Wow. You never cease to amaze me.
I love that the Abzu soundtrack is playing in the background.
I havent heard the soundtrack to Journey in years. It was such a beautiful surprise, im going to play it again.
You have such a beautiful, almost androgynous tone to your voice that makes watching any of your videos a serene joy.
Love your videos. I’m always interested in the ocean, you help make it fun to listen while I work and try to sleep.
Aw I’m so glad!! Thank you :)
the journey ost behind this video is the perfect touch of fantastical beauty of the ocean
This is my new favorite channel. Super interesting content!
Another good video. Thanks for the quality content.
These are really good documentaries on this channel. I’m glad to accidentally stumble upon it.
Keep up the great work 👍🏼
Thanks so much Josh :)
When I am stressed and my ptsd gets to be too much, this will be one of the new channels I will watch to calm my nerves. You are young, but have a very calm and soothing atmosphere and voice, not to mention all this information is absolutely fascinating. Than you
My man! How you channel is growing is something amazing to see. I'm proud to be able to be a part of it and see it unfold😊👍
I loved your video about the different ocean zones shame they removed that one was one of my favorites to watch again and again
Dude you're an amazing narrator. I could hear you not only narrating stuff about the natural world, but I could hear you narrating fantasy stories too.. major lord of the rings vibes
Your soothing narration, the marvelous topics, on top of Austin Wintory's work is but an absolute and resolute treat
Thank you, i’m thrilled you enjoyed it!
Abzu and journey's soundtracks were a nice suprise. That echo effect in your voice was cool too. Both gave a sense of grandeur and excitement to every shot.
I absolutely love your work! Such a smooth, soothing voice. I have an issue with panic/anxiety disorder, I've found that watching your videos calms me down considerably. Thank you !
That guy that speaks in the background makes it so much better, he deserves more credit :)
this guy talks like cate blanchett in lord of the rings.. "but they were all of them deceived, for another ring was made.."
It's a woman, and it's lovely to hear someone speak so properly, eloquently.
Man, I gotta say, having the Abzû music under this footage slammed me into another dimension and I’m having *the Best* time. Thank you.
Beautiful & insightful doco, Austin Windfrey Journey OST adds to the intrigue
what a great documentary. and your pleasing voice as narration goes right along with it.
Cheers for making your channel. Calming and informative, just love it.
Such a cool video!
Thanks again :D
This was amazing. You have the perfect voice, clips and music choices! Keep it up 🙌
Brilliant video, amazing quality as always.
Another great video. Man, I love this channel a bit too much. Never stop what your doing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
perfect video for my late evening snack before bed. Thank you for all of your uploads!
