In response to South Georgia's dark history of excessive whaling and hunting, the island is now a protected area. What are your thoughts on the island's ability to bounce back?

[@kleeokraden]

We haven't completely destroyed our biodiversity and pushed our climate off a cliff, so there's time to turn around!

[@phoenix8846]

Incredibly uplifting and heartwarming to see that we humans can actually do something right! Loved the series, thankyou.

[@janaoh5785]

This rat-eradication technology needs to be shared internationally and deployed to many islands around the world.

[@MikesBadAcid]

Never underestimate Mother Nature. When our unsustainable way of life leads to the extinction of humans, the whole planet will be resurrection island. Awesome series!

[@vico.martini]

Life finds a way. There's so much more we can do to protect this planet and wild life... It pains me to see sometimes people don't realise how important this is

[@alanac7735]

Love Bertie's style of presenting, you can tell he's genuinely passionate and he brings such a great energy to these videos!

[@hayoungiegwiyomibd7377]

He has a way of making you excited as well. I love it.

[@daft_punker]

I love his passion, attitude, and the coherence of narrative with facts keeping me inspired throughout. Absolutely brilliant.

[@Robert.Sheard]

It's a sad commentary that the destruction only ended because it ceased to be economically viable. Love this series.

[@luisch1708]

Bertie has got to be one of Nat Geo's best hires in recent years.

[@Snarkbar]

Agreed, his enthusiasm is very genuine.

[@DevinS1133]

Sir Gregor, I officially declare you the wholesomest Filmmaker in all of the Nat Geo Lands.

[@icehot900]

I stand behind this .

[@justanotherrandomperson180]

100% agree

[@thebookreader287]

3:01 that "hihi" is just the most wholesome thing ever

[@lingeshchandru8950]

"Let's make sure we give more of our wild places a second chance"👌👌

[@BlackNovaGT]

This is absolutely stunning footage, but I can't shake the images from the reels of footage shown around the 5min mark. Such atrocities we bring to this world...

[@ShujiWakahisa]

The footage of that poor bird being attacked by rats especially in the eye made me so sad D:

[@philp6754]

When I read your post I decided, weak person that I am, I can't watch this. As an ocean sailor and general explorer I decided to give it a go. They clipped the film just at the moment you could tell what was getting ready to happen. I wonder if it was your comment. If so, thanks.

[@RelaxingMusicDreamySound]

I cried. How precious these are. Nature should be protected at all cost. ❤️

[@XSpImmaLion]

Is it just me or this series ended up with a kind of weird order... this kinda feels like it should've been the first episode. xD
But still, amazing work guys.

[@Nagarath16]

I was wondering the same thing. Maybe they decuded that this wasn't interesting enough episode to start with to get people watching so they made the order different? That's what often happens to tv series.

[@gabrielleross5506]

I am so addicted with your voice Bertie, you are a natural story teller ❤❤❤😍😍😍

[@nick-ec3di]

Thank you to Bertie Gregory, the camera crew, and everyone closely and remotely involved, this was a wonderful series ! I truly enjoyed every minute.

[@valetepisces]

I think this is beautiful and so well made. People need to see more of these kind of series, they're amazing, touching and really educational. Also he's energy and excitement makes it more entertainment.

[@shanhussain6114]

Absolutely love this series

[@BobMcCoy]

*Much educating, very wow!*

[@cnightly3824]

NowYouPeepMe [Old Channel] Much understand, very it’s a meme!

[@rejwanahmedzehad8919]

The only thoughts in my mind ''I just finished the best series I have ever seen in youtube''.Have no words, how can I thank Natgeo, how can I show my immense respect to Bertie.

[@kaushtubrawat8223]

This picture at 8:33 melted my heart even more.

[@outlet_8769]

My heart broke at the baby albatross getting attacked by the rats.

[@yoga0811]

Bertie!😍 It's so good to hear you speak with such warmth...Nice to see animals among human like you...

[@Samantha-vq7bm]

Our world is so beautiful. I truly believe that even if there are other lifeforms and beautiful planets somewhere else in the Universe that they cant beat the beauty of Earth and it's beautiful inhabitants. We are so lucky to have the most beautiful planet right here.

[@1thyphallic]

i wish we could learn from past mistakes of temporary economic gains are not worth. Without the ecological community. we are nothing. but sadly, big companies are too hooked on gaining money and being rich. Such beauty shouldn't be taken for granted.

[@user-ir7ou3xw1m]

صح 👍

[@painpain4490]

I want more of this guy
He loves his jod and passionate about his job

[@JOVI08]

When Bertie swims in the cold water.. i shiver 🥶😂

[@alaricereyes6274]

I did not know wildlife documentaries can be emotional. Thank you so much, Bertie Gregory!

[@donsalomi7089]

Gregor keeps me sooo entertained I always get stuck watching all his vids💯

[@gregorthebeetle]

This made me cry.

[@aminahmahmood1737]

I love the style of narration. Hated to see this end! Thank you Nat Geo and Bertie for an inspiring and informative documentary.

[@Mightyfish_]

Do you think all those that survived this massacre have told their stories to the future generations in their own language?

[@goingghost8297]

The whales yes. Not sure about the others.

[@cidneyoliver4706]

@@goingghost8297
Agreed.

[@1light4love]

I wish I get to do what he does. It’s so beautiful, it moves me to tears.

[@alexloopdesign]

I love his passion and his energetic touch for presenting.

[@AzlianaLyana]

Finally, welcome home, whales. Hope they continue to thrive and grow back in numbers, along with all the other native wildlife. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.

[@meanpotato2948]

NatGeo is the best, it is suitable to educate us, especially, the young ones. How I wish, I can work at NatGeo as a professional photographer who travels around the world and my favorite place, Africa.
