Exploring the Alien World of Brine Pools
Vložit

- Very few humans have ever seen the mysterious brine pools in person. This is an alien landscape of underwater lakes so salty that they kill most fish who get too close. The brine pools, however, are also thriving ecosystems, host to many species, and with a unique microbiological makeup that makes them extremely valuable to study.
As the OceanX team worked with the BBC on “Blue Planet II,” advisor scientists Dr. Sylvia Earle (of Mission Blue) and Dr. Samantha “Mandy” Joye descended in the Alucia submersibles to visit the brine pools and collect samples from this rarely visited ecosystem, which could lead to medical breakthroughs or provide clues to the origins of life.
This video is a part of #OurBluePlanet, a joint venture between OceanX Media and BBC Earth to get people talking about the ocean. Join the conversation on Twitter: @OurBluePlanet

“These fish have never seen the light of day before in their lives”
**shines 10,000 lumen light into fish’s eyes**
*"MY EYES!!"*
@@aurorapaisley7453 lmao, then that one spongebob fish screams “MY LEG”
@@tasnimkakon6025 that’s the complete opposite their eyes are bigger so that they can let in more light to see better in the dark, so shining a flash light is the equivalent of seeing the blast of a nuclear bomb
@@parky22 how do you know that you a fish?
@@otdris4548 no because it’s common biology, your pupils get bigger in the dark to let in more light, so since these organisms live in almost complete darkness, they’re used to having to let in wayyy more light so when the flashlight get shined at them, it’s the equivalent of a nuclear blast up close, so no I am not classified as a fish, but I am classified as your new dad
If they ever discover a sea cucumber species in that brine would it be called a sea pickle?
Yes
Yea
brined pickle
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!
Slap yourself
Other fish when they hit the brine: Guess I'll die.

You beat me to it...
@@Apelles42069 yea, you guys keep arguing what is human and what isn't.
Wonder if the hag fish slime coating prevents them from being affected by the brine pool, like the mucus layering our stomach acids prevent damage inside.
@Josh F I think the brine is just very salty and deadly for fish to inhale. Maybe the hag fish just holds its breath when it goes into the brine
@@filegrabber1, I think I agree. They take in water through their snout, and then pump that water to the gills, which are actually inside its body. So their gills are not affected by the brine, in addition to the slime that protects the body, of course.
The hag fish had its own submersible, didn't you pay attention? :/
The ultimate creature
@@filegrabber1 that's not how jkasdfhkj fish work but ok m8
The fact that there's a beach in Spongebob's world makes SO MUCH MORE sense now.
Good Point
The goo lagoon is the reason i came here :D
But then everyone that goes into the beach dies

@@daisytorres1614 Did we kill the dinosaurs? And mammoths?
@@matfey9975 No, but we're killing off hundreds of species per year through our negligence.
@Matfey no but look at today all the fires happening some of the biggest ones are man made many animal species are gonna die before we discover any more
Subnautica Lost River Biome right there.
I was looking for a subnautica comment lol
"Terrain scans indicate this biome contains unusually high concentrations of organic and fossilized remains."
Would love to see Leviathan that rises out of the pools like a hydra or a Jormungandr
BillieAkaBill great game
This is the goo lagoon
"when i first started diving in the 1950s" oh my GOD she looks incredible!!!
Blessed
You are so cute
I'm like, woah, what a life she's had then
A testimony to the kind of damage sunlight can do. 😎
"We are losing stuff before we even know it's there."
Perfect way to sum up the deep blue ocean.
"Terrain scans indicate this biome contains unusually high concentrations of organic and fossilized remains."
Subnautica?
"Multiple leviathan class lifeforms in the region. Are you sure whatever you're doing is necessary"
That means high concentration of oil too

This is a top quality content, why the audience is so small? :((
Don't know bro 😔
rockets are more exciting yes we should be funding equal $ to ocean research or even more gps etc are very important much more basic research in all areas is needed but science is taking a back seat lately in US and we know why religion, trump and poor k-12 education for starters
@@stemwoods double trouble i see
Cause people would rather remain idiots and eat up partisan information from unreliable sources
Because instead of watching informative videos they can actually learn something from, they'd rather watch idiots put on makeup and people talk about cell phones
The ocean is soo cool. So is space.
also SUBNAUTICA BEST GAME
Oh my god I was thinking about subnautica while watching. The submarine looks like the water car things
@@aliensarereal7691 yeah, the seamoth.
Breathtaking experience! Applause to those two scientists and their amazing team. Great mission.
Definitely deserves more viewing.
This should be a full length documentary, maybe several hours long. It’s fascinating. Also, we need to take care that although we may find cures in the brine environment, we may also bring back the next plague too.
Juan Ramirez That is a scary thought, the next catastrophic plague could come from the sea.
Because of how diseases work I highly doubt that, because the diseases we have right now evolved alongside us finding ways to get in and stay in our bodies. Bacteria down there however have never been exposed to humans but rather evolved alongside fish which are very different to humans
No we won't. Pathogens are specifically adapted to overcome immune systems of specific targets. Pathogens and hosts co-evolve in an endless arms race. Humans don't get Dutch Elm Disease and trees can't catch colds.
@@IrishCarney
Umm...no. Pathogens can absolutely jump species. That's how HIV came to infect humans. Making news today is the coronavirus that jumped from pigs to humans.
qz.com/1788053/the-wuhan-coronavirus-likely-made-the-jump-from-animals-to-humans/
@@overthenonsense5052 you and Irish are both right. Pigs genomes are similar to humans so the jump from pigs to humans is possible, but Dutch elm can't because it targets an entirely different phylum (that being plants). Most diseases they would find down there wouldn't be able to interact with us cause they would be evolved to interact with sea creatures.
This the most underrated video ever. Deserves a lot more views.
Sharing is caring 🤷🏻♂️
There’s been other vids about brine pools
@@MinecraftFlash96 they copied SpaceX name right
this is very edited to be dramatic and appealing for the american people. there are many, many, many more unedited videos about underwater life like brime pools.
Nautilus has alot of old videos from these kind of locations
Both space and deep sea exploration are very interesting and I think we can all agree on that
indeed m8 indeed
I’m scared of the ocean. If I can’t see 100 percent through it, I’m going to panic. What if something just fucking darts to you out of nowhere
0:06 well there goes the eel who was desperate to go into the brine..
People are gonna confused on what I'm talking about if they didn't haven't seen the documentary yet
Pretzel Eel

Gotta be a bit depressing for them getting all the way down there and still finding garbage
Rubbish. It is all part of the systems eco, now.
@@1Autostrada ah yes feel free to keep telling yourself that in a few million years when you find that the plastic garbage we left behind is still there
@@1Autostrada ofc, the plastic bags are an essential part of nature
@@shadowfire04 I have a feeling he will not be telling himself anything in a few million years....
@@shadowfire04 millions of years lmao just no. Try thousands.
Dr Sylvia Earle has such a good voice for narration, I could listen to her teach me about the ocean for hours.
‘We’re diving into the history of life on earth’ her voice is so satisfying for me.
Incredibly fascinating how little we know of our oceans.
Humans hasn't explored more than 5% of the sea...but I'll bet our trash already have. @4:25
Also incredibly sad our species takes it for granted and are slowly destroying the very things we need to survive.
It's easier to deal with zero pressure than heavy pressure after all.
@Rowan Melton Lol it's on purpose 🙂
Allison Chains it's fascinating how easily we believe everything a "scientist" tells us.
Yo, now I know what those green acid patches in Subnautica's Lost Rivers were inspired by! Cool!
hell yeah!!!!!
And now I know what Goo Lagoon was inspired by too.
honestly a masterpiece of cinematography
even the behind the scenes are marvels of movie making
4:31 "Mr. Starfish, i don't feel so good"
Wow! I was amazed at the camera work and both scientists. I would not underestimate the value of their work to humankind. Thank you!
The lost river
more like the lost planet.
Subnautica?

The brine pools are toxic and corrosive just like the game and at some places there are actually branches that go into it
Yettus Featutuss But in the game the pools are toxic because there is sulfur in them. The only "traditional" brine pool is the one from the Tree Cove and it doesn’t deal damages.
I appreciate and admire their work but i kinda dont like how they downplay everything else like forest ecosystem and space exploration. They're all equally great
No they aren't. Space travel is UTTERLY useless to us currently
@@tortellinifettuccine Both are not useless. What are you talking about?
@@applesandgrapesfordinner4626
Space is useless because it don’t exist . But I’m all for forest/jungle and ocean exploration
@ThaWiseMan - SD POV: You live in 5023 BC
Yea scientist A thinks they’re smarter than scientist B cause it’s their favorite flavor.
Unbelievable. I want to see more of this! I truly can’t get enough of all things in the ocean. I am just immersing myself in it more and more 💕
Oh my god I could listen to Dr. Sylvia Earle lecture and not want to fall asleep, they have that hype-up-keep-you-engaged "this shit is incredible yo" kind of voice, I feel like they'd make a rad captain on Star Trek.
Photography and cinematography in this piece is off the hook! CONGRATS 🍾 @OceanX
"Detecting multiple Leviathan class life forms in the region..." 😶
im not the only one who believes that brine pools are portals to the underworld?
"are you sure whatever you are doing is worth is?"
I need a full hour of this. I keep saying that people are so excited about exploring space but we really have no clue about everything on our own planet. I wonder how satisfying it must have been for the oceanographer who has been diving since the 50s to finally get to see such depths because of the development of technology.
And the cinematography and music choices were perfect. They made the science feel as exciting as it truly is.
The age of exploration is still ahead of us....
4:25 Plastic Bag: Hey, what took you so long?
We live in an age where our garbage has been more places than we have...
That sickens me to see that. Wow. Humans are fucking parasites
@Leppelidingo impossible task without funding more in rocket technology
@Leppelidingo I'm so sorry pal but you may have noticed that not enough people care, everyone thinks that they shouldn't care about littering because people who care are just gonna clean after them.
Let's pray that all of this changes for the better one day
@@solar3013 sad truth
„We are losing stuff before we know it’s even there“ as well as the fact that sending a spaceship to mars instead of taking a closer look at the deep waters is just amazing to hear from them.
These dives seem like they would be so peaceful, and exhilarating at the same time. It would be amazing to be in one of those submarines.
This is some quality content. Astounding. I never knew brine pools were even a thing!
As a diver I love this stuff, I wished I'd taken diving to another level, while I was younger.
How does somebody become a submersible pilot, is it who you know, not what you know...
Degrees, decades of research and being published, large grants and corporate sponsorship, and/or having very deep pockets like James Cameron and the time to enjoy it by delving deep into environments that you have absolutely no chance of ever surviving if something goes seriously wrong such as a breach or engine failure alongside safety cable snapping after deep ocean humanoids attack the interlopers invading their territory from the outer space we call the surface. . . DUNNN DAA DUUUUUUU!
*It's amazing that they will explore unique place in the ocean deep like this one*
What I thought was a sea bed with a layer of rocks is actually a 500 feet deep pile of dead bodies and dead clams.
4:22 Oi! Is that submarine giving me the finger!?
What an absolutely fantastic production of awe-inspiring explorations into these brine pools!
This is so amazing, I can't wait to see what is discovered as they continue to research the pools
This was so beautifully filmed and narrated. Thank you!
this reminds me of the egg chamber in the first alien movie. it's the most well arranged and neat looking natural formation I have ever seen
It's amazed me and gave me goosebumps. Extraordinary content.
Feel sorry for the people who haven’t watched this yet. Absolutely amazing production and cinematic’s. Here before this blows up 😊✌️
This is so beautiful. I really want to watch the full documentary
Incredible work. Love these videos! Thank you for inspiring me.
Underwater lakes/rivers are just too cool!!!! They're so surreal yet so awesome!
Beautiful video’s really mind blowing. It would be great to make them longer 15-20 minutes and put more live footage from the dive in it and talk about the species so we could learn more. And to learn how the life on the ship works and what everyone function is and results of discoveries or tests. Information about the trips and where you will go next. So the viewer gets a bond and more connected story. More like nautilus channel.
I truly appreciate the work you guys do thanks for the amazing content.
Part of me wonders if the only reasons the bottom of the sea floor is so diverse and in such good condition as an ecosystem is because it’s so detached from human involvement and human destruction :(
As a scuba diver, this is soooooo fascinating!!!!!
If most of these ecosystems and lifeforms have remained in perpetual darkness, what is the effect of the intense probe lights of the submersibles on them? How can you study their 'natural' behavior under such circumstances?
Blind animals cant perceive light. Lighting up animals that cant see wont change their natural behaviour. What may, however is a massive moving hunk of metal I'd bet lol.
@@JW-wp3yh refer to the latter half of my comment.
@@JW-wp3yh aaah, okay!
It's probably just for the documentary. They have thermal vision camera as well
@@lyr1kn156Maybe some but many deep sea creatures have specialized eyes to see even the smallest amount of light at those depths. The fact is these incredibly bright lights on the submarine probably permanently blinded many of the creatures down there. Normally red lights would be used as the majority of marine life don't have the photoreceptor for red having no impact on them.
Beautiful yet so scary due to lack of knowledge. Thank you for sharing❤️
The image quality is seriously stunning
Thanks for keeping it proffessional and not injecting the cringy hyperbole you so often see today in most documentaries.
I'm amazed Sylvia Earle is still working after more than 50 years to fight for the protection of our oceans 🌊 great video by the way Ocean X because I was really afraid by Abyss and strange creatures which lives down there . But now I feel a little bit comfortable 😊
Just imagine a prehistoric gigantic shark's jaw emerges from background
Word cannot describe how unbelievable and beautiful this is.
What a incredible discovery!
It is a shame that it has little interest to viewers compared to media "entertainment" content
OCEANX and SpaceX: Ultimate Exploration!
watching this video after the Titan tragedy hits different.
You can clearly see how very much professional are these explorers with this submarine and the technology they used for an honorable purpose, while the others put in danger people on an improvised human trap.
Everyone should major in science. It may require so much studying but if u truly try to see the picture for every little detail then it actually seems like an amazing journey to discover what is really out there from space to earth to the organisms that can help us change everything for the better
That is sooo cool! Instead of spending time in space, we need to spend it in our oceans!!!
Why not do both?
Tymdek that is true!!! There are things in space that are beautiful!!
Bruh
@Doppelganger D Of course. (I'm currently studying biology myself, to do something aling the lines of what you suggest.) But my point is, we are so many people that we're better off putting resources in both that just prioritizing one. And that doesn't even exclude the two fields from working together ;)
I mean, how should we track migrating whales or sharks without sattelite trchnology? Or track oxygen levels and temperature in the oceans. And the list goes on.
Also, we're so incredibly good at so many topics (I mean as a species) that the best thing we can do is let individual people do what they do best.
I don't mean to say that your opinion is wrong (also there is no such thing as a wrong opinion as long as it is an informed one, i believe). But I want to make clear that we might overlook certain things that we would have noticed if we focused on more than one field of research.
And all of that essentially boils down to the phrase "We can only protect what we know"...
Tymdek Well put
3:58 Just imagine if a monster reached out from the Brine pool and grabbed the Subs arm and pulled into in the pool. How deep are the Brine Pools, and has a Sub ever submerged into one? 4:27 Pollution? I wish we could clean our oceans.
the sound design in this video is as amazing as the video track.. good job
Fish dives into brine
Fish : why is it SPICYYYY
My only complaint is of the part he tried to cast doubt on the purpose of a space program...
Many of those who study the deep sea that I've heard talk said the same thing. Wtf ? The ocean may have potential but Mars alone has a lot lot more than it, and it isn't like this is unreachable
@@sephikong8323, that's true. Both are important, but I think they were just trying to give more attention to the sea exploration part. I agree with you, though, they shouldn't degrade the importance of space exploration either.
@@solar3013 Exactly, this isn't because one is more popular that you have to downplay it's merits to say that your subject matters as well. It is very insecure and childish to me. And this isn't as if Deep Sea exploration got no funds (although it is mostly governments and academia that are funding it), they are not neglected, it is just that more people dream of the stars (and since the dawn of time) than of the bottom of the ocean, so it is to be expected that space exploration gets more funding and attention and whining about it won't help the cause, quite the contrary
It's really annoying you hear it all the time, WhY gO tO sPaCE iF wE HaVeNt dIsCoVerEd EvErYtHiNg YeT?
Just heccin fricc off, I want some alien ass
I have to agree with you. Space exploration is just as important. Exploring the ocean is like looking into a painting up close, it's details, elevations and depressions on the paint, where green encounters yellow, or where they mix together. But you could also look at it from a distance, where all these details start to make an image, just like we are trying to do with the whole universe.
How tf does he get all those different camera angles of the sub? Insane.
There is normally a second drone sub that films extra angles
Fascinating stuff, most definitely worth the price of my TV licence.
Space exploration > looking at cool fishes.
On a serious note both are important, but the technology we have gained from space travel alone is monumental. Without space exploration, i bet over 90% of what you do on a day to day basis wouldn’t even exist.
Beautiful but why do you have to tear down Mars and extra-planetary exploration efforts as if these were at the expense of exploring earth? We can and should do both!
yeah but in the end one is being "done" more than the other.
samuele because there’s more private interest in space exploration than there is in deep sea exploration. Only people making leaps in sea exploration are government and academic organizations.
Space is for rich douche bags and stolen tax money alotted to nasa but then given to private company spaceX. And the ocean is for nerds school kids and real folks who want to learn what they can and cant eat incase dumb ass folks like the clintons, soros, antifa and the democratic party ruin the world
@@brandona4618 You need to stop looking at politics and enjoy the world more.
Brandon A is a moron lel
I wanna see more of this Sylvea Earle lady, she's awesome
What an absolute blast of a video.
Brine Pools somehow remind me of Ahtohallan from Frozen 2.
"Dive down deep into her sound, but not too far or you'll be drowned"
Now that’s a submarine
Wonderful to see forefront scientists - women - discovering and caring for the unknown and future of this amazing planet. Our planet.
This is so stinking well produced.
that moment a documentary about really salty water has better tension than most thriller movies
where not new to Brine pools we've seen them all our childhood from sponge bob
I watched Filmtheory but I wont admit that so I seem like I actually did research myself :)
Why didn't they go into the brine pool? That's what I wanted to see.
E3ECO DEATH!
very likely that they couldn't. The vehicle is probably barely capable of sinking in normal sea water. They would probably bounce right off the surface of the brine pool.
E3ECO, my guess is that the brine fog goes on some way down. So wouldn't see your hand in front of your face.
But sometimes it's a thin layer, i would've thought they'd send a ROV in to see. Maybe they did, I haven't watch all their videos yet.
And get crushed by the water pressure and poisoned by the brine?
@@vbgvbg1133 you're kinda ignorant pal
Dr. Sylvia Earle really arned her honorary title "her deepness". Her passion for the ocean is remarkable and inspiring.
Amazing that she has been doing this research for over 60 years and is still out in field!
It's as much as most people her age can do to go out and sit on their porch.
@@donmac7780 Yep! She's amazing
It’s crazy to think that there is so much going on right below the water, like it’s so easy to forget it’s not just sharks and fish, it’s a vast array of life and many so old so ancient and the history they can share, and the knowledge but sadly we don’t focus on science like that, and there is a possibility especially as time goes on that some things might never be discovered or understood and some even die with their secrets of the world
Beautiful and awe inspiring. Just wish we could enjoy the beauty without thinking in terms of payoffs. “I really like you and you are so beautiful. I wonder what the payoff is?” :(
Thing is, science needs funding. And the people funding it want to have a payoff. Kinda sad, true, but that's how it is...
Claude lebel I think she meant in the name scientific research she hopes to find cures and alot of other unknown we are yet to discover about the oceans ecosystem.
If you are satisfied with only appreciating the "beauty" of nature you are really undermining the full scope of discoveries, knowledge and life's expressions of survival that can be applied in other areas and researched on. What beauty you can appreciate here is the result acccumulated technologies, funds, studies and investments drawn by greater ambitions than simply uncovering something beautiful. Those motivations should also be taken into account
So no. Limiting your appreciation to beauty towards the concept of deep sea exploration means it fascinates you in only the most superficial way possible. I doubt that the individuals involved those kind of explorations are simply motivated by the "beauty" of it all and that's a good thing.
Looking at science field works the same way you'd look at art exhibits is very reductive, despite both deserving a place in this world for reasons of their own
@@nicmanza4657 couldn’t have said it better myself.
Boo for dissing on a space program, but really neat video.
They're not dissing, just saying deep sea exploration is underrated.
Everybody focuses on space, while we haven't explored more than 5% of our own oceans.

If you love this kind of thing, I would recommend you to read "20 thousand leagues under the sea" by Jules Verne. *The sea is everything. It's breath is pure and healthy. Its an immense desert where man is never alone, for he feels live quivering around him on every side*
Dr. Earle sounds like shes trying to do her best Carl Sagan impression the entire time.
She sounded incredibly pretentious
Beautiful cinematography in this video, capturing the awesomeness of brine pools and all those who live there. However the commentary was less impressive: talking about these deep ocean ecosystems in purely instrumental ways: as potential resources we might be able to exploit (for medical uses etc) while simultaneously bemoaning the damage being done to the environment and seemingly not seeing the link between the two.
This makes me emotional. Wow
