The first time I learned about the albatross was when I was a kid probably 10 years old or younger. It was a song by Iron Maiden called Rime of the Ancient Mariner, that song was based off a poem written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge of the same name that introduced me to the amazing birds. It was because of that song and poem that I learned great respect for the albatross.
My first exposure to this animal was through the song “Echoes” by Pink Floyd. It’s an absolute masterpiece of 1970s prog rock.
Same here, but I was in high school... now David Attenborough had taught me further
I'm a follower of the Albatross Center of Taiaroa Head, (Dunedin, New Zealand). It's amazing how much love, effort and dedication the entire DoC team is able to give to these magnificent birds.
@jorgedelatorre I follow Taiaroa Head Albies, too, via Lady Hawk (YT channel). It's been such a wonderful education. They are such magnificent creatures! Even though I'm on the West Coast of the USA, I rang by bell last week for the return of the walndering Toroa.
Very glad to hear it. Must have the right people working in the right careers in this instance. Fantastic!
I showed this CZcams clip to my 8years old and 5 year old and watched in awe at these amazing mysterious birds.15,000 miles a month WoW!
Great work and dedication from all the scientists and observers.
I'm bawling watching this. So amazed at the beauty of these birds
Inspiring. Presentation was precise, and moving. Lets hope more people watch, and gain respect for our amazing fellow creatures. As a human flier, I respect their apparently effortless flight. We have so much to learn from these amazing ambassadors.
Thank you for your brilliant work towards their survival.
With all the technology to learn the habits of animals you would expect scientists to realise that there is an invisible force controlling nature. All birds have nine air pockets. Isn't that strange how evilution gave all birds 9 air pockets. What garbage. Evolution is brain washing lies. Nature is full of God's miracles. Turtles locate the ascension islands each year from 1500miles away. All migrations are achieved through God. The Cuckoo migrates without direction from other birds. Coral reefs spawn together once each year. Cicada swarm exactly every 17 years. We also now have all the evidence we need to know the earth is flat. Antarctica is 30degress colder than the arctic and does not get 24hour sunlight. The fantasy curve should be 66feet over 10 miles but we can see land which should be way over the curve. The suez canal is 100 miles long and has no locks. Tides are not uniform and do not affect lakes. Tides are fundamental to reproduction and feeding. How? Why? Well satan rules this world, just as sit says in the KJV Bible. The rothschilds/red/edom nation control world governments from the satanic sovereign state city of London. They run the worlds national banks and control governments and education, media and scientific establishments supporting evolution and globe earth and suppressing evidence of flat earth and Nature being God's creation. Almighty God controls everything knows everything and will judge everyone.
You need to read a biology book, specifically the chapter entitled, "Evolution" and learn something.

I'm not crying you're crying, I'm in love with these birds!
He has such a gentle way about him. Makes it very easy to listen to. :)

these animals must have come from different planet.
Great document btw, love albatrosses.
Velociraptor status
Losing yo wifi be like:
the earth's so old the animals got to change alot.
Frans, from my perspective as a scientist (atmospheric physics) and as a Pilot I would like to thank you so much for this contribution !
Yep thanks
The adaptations that this bird possesses are truly remarkable. It is perfectly designed for flight. No aircraft can match the efficiency of this bird in flight.
+Peter Stone All modern aircraft have more efficient flight than this bird.
you are confusing technologically advanced to efficiency.
The albatross's eyebrows so on fleek
I didn't think I would watch this whole video, given the format of a presentation. I was wrong and very enthralled.
You have taken so much hardships to bring us the facts of these birds. Really majestic birds.
Sweetness ❤️🔥👑❤️🔥 very informative. Seeing an Albatross is definitely bucket list for me. 💯 Keep recycling everyone💚🙌🏾🌎
These Birds are very Good looking.
Why don't you marry one then?
My absolute favorite sea birds!
Wow.
The last lines say it all.
Beautiful.
Amazing bird ❤❤❤
I think the Wandering Albatross is majestic and loyal. We humans can learn something from this.
Thank you! Beautiful, these albatrosses and Lanting's words really inspire good thinking.
I could only imagine the nose n sounds wow gorgeous Bird 🐦❤️ Migwech 🔥
Man and albatross have this in common, that they both are wonderful creatures.
26:05 Albatross hairstyles
and all in a row
thanks for the great documenting
I could listen to Fans all day. I enjoyed this video very much.
Beautiful piece, thank you Frans!
WOW! Absolutely amazing and fond memories of our recent paleagic (Flock2017) on the MSC Sinfonia organised by BirdLife SA. We met Peter Harrison who presented lectures on Albatrosses. WOW! #Flock2017
Simply wonderful. Thank you, from a hangglider pilot.
Magnificent presentation! Thanks.
Very inspirational.
Thank you Mr Lanting!
Oh wow clicked randomly and I was hooked to the line by the end. Great stuff gosh!
The hair style joke was gold
Here’s a little video clip? It shows two albatrosses? About to become intimate partners? But it doesn’t always go right? Haha I don’t mean to poke fun at this guy, I really loved this documentary and I love albatrosses, it just seems like someone put question marks at the end of every sentence in his notes (I left a similar comment a few minutes ago but it disappeared, sorry if both are here)
Overhead the Albatross hangs motionless upon the air...
amazing animals
I love this kind of work :'( I wish i could do this but I can never concentrate in school and i fail at math so i don't think i'm qualified for a job like this. It makes me sad that i have no hope of ever getting this job but this is what i like and it's the most interesting job in the world.
Hi. I lived on midway for almost 4 yrs in 1970. My dad a naval officer. I attended school at george cannon starting at 4th grade. There is few hundred servicemen and their families. The single guys lived in barracks. Watching this video I noticed I did not see any of the rusted wreckage of the fighter war planes scattered along the shoreline from the end of the airstrip to the naval station where my dad works. I am homesick
Beautiful bird, beautiful presentation
beautiful bird
That was awesome!
Loved this video. Thank you 🙏
Absolutely amazing
You are a remarkable scientist and have a good sense of humor
Smita, a beautiful comment
Just wow!
A bird of legend, a presentation of Andante Cantabile
beautiful.
Awesome data on albatrosses !
What a brilliant speaker!!
Wow what a beautiful film
12 years old. I hope we've made some progress.
great video... thanks for the upload!
inspiring!!! /). our ocean friends that tell us whats going on
Amazing
@5:58 "I'm serious!!! It's THIS big!!" 😅
The main reason this documentary is not on TV. Is probably because he's targeting fish markets. Over fishing our ocean leaves nets behind witch is killing the albatross
beautiful
Their Dynamic Soaring flight technique has recently contributed to a RC Glider achieving a flight speed of over 500 Klms/Hr emulating it. Birds are still educating us.....
Very handsome birds
This was really sweet
now I don't mind being other than human, but only if I'm gonna be an albatross
thank you `
Great video!!!.🤍🤍🤍
19:18 I dunno but this might be even more epic then the masked booby
The Albatross utilize dynamic soaring.
His voice makes me madder than a Port-a-Potty at an Enchiladas Festival.
it took an hour to watch this but i finally finished it lol
Wings of the Albatross.... Sounds like a sweet name for a metal band.
I like albatrosses, frigate birds, cardinals, owls, the archaeopterix, falcons, peafowls, ostriches, chickens (and chicks! jk, jk) swans jays, eagles, and... and.... Well, the list's too big.
So do I :-)
Can you imagine keeping a bird like this in a zoo?
Really Amazing work .
02:34 is simply a WOW photograph
...the Albatross and the Whales they are my brothers! Cool Change!
ALBATROSS!!!
I found my albatross 😍
Coleridge never saw an albatross? He went abroad when he was about 30 to attempt to get off opium and was onboard ship for many months. He could’ve seen one. I’m not sure but I think he went to Gibraltar, a British Overseas Territory
Nice
National Geographic documentary on Albatross by Frans Lanting
@MeThaOwnage It evolves from beginning to end, I didn't watch any one thing for 40 minutes. And it was interesting to me, because my dad told me about these birds when i was younger and I had never seen one before.
❤ 👏 👏 👏

@EasyOpeasy I LOVE THEM!! :)
