2022 Expedition Highlights Reel - Deep Sea Exploration and Beyond | Nautilus Live

Spending over 200 days at sea in 2022, E/V Nautilus and the Corps of Exploration explored the Central Pacific Ocean with deep sea dives, seafloor mapping, and brand-new partnerships venturing into the shallow ocean. Thank you for joining the adventure as we mapped over 162,000 km2 and explored never-before-surveyed areas of the ocean floor for over 534 hours across 34 ROV dives. With expeditions ranging as far as the Pacific Remote Islands and Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monuments, we ended our season close to Hawaiʻi launching the From Shore to the Abyss partnership program with near coastal research projects focusing on wildlife biology, maritime heritage, and plastic pollution. This highlight reel shares some of our adventures beneath the sea and the inspiring people and technologies that made them possible.
With over 8.3 million views of our exploration discoveries, we are proud to share a love of ocean exploration and science with communities worldwide. Thanks to the collaboration, partnerships, and our loyal audiences, 2022 was one of our most successful- and groundbreaking- seasons yet. Stay tuned to learn what we have in store for 2023 and beyond!
This season was made possible by the many partners who support Ocean Exploration Trust in our exploration, inspiration, and innovation mission. The 2022 expedition sponsors are NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration via the Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute, the NOAA Office of Coast Survey, NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, the Office of Naval Research, and the National Geographic Society.
E/V Nautilus is exploring unknown regions of the ocean seeking out new discoveries in biology, geology, and archaeology. Join us 24/7 for live video from the seafloor and to ask questions of our explorers currently aboard Nautilus: www.nautiluslive.org.

i always adore these streams and compilations because i feel like so many people think science is very serious and boring and stoic and it's not!! it's people seeing sea cucumbers or siphonophores and saying "i love you!! you are so cute!!! you are my favorite!!!" it makes me so happy :)

Scientist sees a crab holding an anemone “what is he doing with it?” The other scientist “he holds it 🥺” “where is he going with it?” “He loves it 🥺🥺”

[@Secret_Takodachi]

While watching this, I'm just imagining the HOURS and HOURS or tireless prep, scanning & just endless waiting that goes into these expeditions. All that effort for these "2 minute moments".... Totally worth it! ❤👍🥰

[@voyagerwitch]

to be fair, also a ton of usable data and samples for ongoing research

[@Secret_Takodachi]

38:22 This whole next minute had me jumping up in my seat in celebration like my team had just won the World Cup or something 🤣👍

It was like playing basketball except you control the hoop

The student driver sticker in the background at 30:41 almost made me choke on my drink lol

[@actuallobster7044]

I have an intense fear of the ocean, but I try to find videos like this every once in a while to appreciate the ocean and everything in it. I think if I didn't have this phobia, I would have loved to go into a field like this. Maybe in the next life. For now, I will watch from afar, safely in a land locked state

[@robynvanhorn]

You could do it remotely like they are. You probably died drowning in your last life.

[@kittiecandy747]

[@willstar3537]

Your KZbin channel is changing our opinion on the seabed and the life of sea creatures in general. Your way of commenting on the videos is also just as extraordinary: wonder is a form of invigorating faith Really thank you for everything A fan living in Dakar, Senegal, West Africa

This was a beautiful thing to read from a stranger 🤗 🥰

[@gwynn2528]

Cthulhu rises from the deep. These scientists: AWWW WOW! How pretty! I love him!🥰 This is my favorite channel btw.

[@suzettecalleja3122]

I clapped when the Sea Urchin went into the box. I love how the guy kept saying is that just one? That Coral was like something from a horror movie, but beautiful at the same time. Thank you all you Boys and Girls for taking us along. I always love the commentary 🤣 and information. When I watch this I always think of a teacher who says now? boys and girls I want you to use your imagination and draw me something you think might be under the Ocean, only its no longer an imagination it's for REAL.

[@Lord_Baphomet_]

So sad to see the viewership go down… the algorithm really plays no favorites does it…

[@brian_7934]

Its crazy to think for thousands of yrs all these beautiful creatures were just living their lives out unnoticed in the dark. Im so glad we have the tech to see this stuff!!!

[@chocolatefrenzieya]

I love learning the technical terms like, "flappy flaps". 🤣❤

[@jackp8583]

Fantastic job on all the expeditions! Go EVNautilus!

[@PaulMcCannWebBuilder]

Trevor (the pilot) says he has an untrained eye at 6:57. C'mon Trevor, you've spent more time pointing that big lens at paragorgia than any coral scientist.

[@theincredibleauraaa133]

I love this channel not only because it’s so informational, but you guys also bash the belief that scientists are super serious all the time. If I’m being honest, one of you has probably used the word “skrunkly” to describe an animal you’ve seen. and if it hasn’t happened yet, then it’s definitely going to happen eventually.

[@katydidiy]

If everyone loved their jobs like you guys obviously do, what a peaceful world it would be!

[@David_Robert_1]

Thank you to the EVNautilus team. You guys always bring great footage and incredibly funny commentary! Keep up the good work guys!

That nudibranch was phenomenal. Absolute Spanish dancing she needed was a 🌹! Also stunningly visual stimulus undernsea gardens help me to envision visiting an octopuses

[@NoisyBones]

The museum I work at has an entire deep sea dive with footage and specimens from one of the canyons off of the coat of New York. They also added a small ‘Marine Biologist Chat’ in the corner of the presentation where there are ‘comments’ on the various animals that are shown. Id like to think it’s in reference to you guys 😂 I still want a ‘looks like a dropped toy’ comment for the dumbo footage

[@LunaDelTuna]

Now that us millennials are in charge, all the names are Dumbo, Flappy Flap, and Thicc Boi.

[@TheZabbiemaster]

I absolutely love listening to the marine biologists going "Oh My God it has a grumpy faaaaaaacceeee"

[@fed0t38]

Wow, spectacular video! Is there any additional information on that fossil picked up from sea floor in one of the highlights?

[@shannonrickard8605]

Even with such incredible footage as this, it's hard to imagine what it truly looks like down there without the lights. And also how much beauty is hidden.

[@thelaughingtiger146]

Thank you all for the wonderful opportunity to learn more about our oceans. The commentary by the scientists is adorable. This channel is the most entertaining, and a fun way to learn.

[@doodad77]

Yes we melt for, fawn & adore "dumbo squid"🐙but how about some love for grumpy batfish1:30? To me, the epitome of cute & misunderstood😁Great work as always! Appreciate how EVNautilus has improved research methods & technology. All these individual glimpses & brief observations, inspire ideas how they could provide assemblage, relationships, general assessment of various communities & ecosystem function over the region, beside determine how affected by Anthropocene activity. Status report!🐬Another matter is the astounding diversity that still provides surprises😳could be pleasing but unaware of richness or whether indigenous to particular marine communities, health & function or any intrusion, instability, & risks.Thx for your service!🐳

[@SimplyTakuma]

The crazy thing is: You are thinking, they mapping a big precentage of the ocean floor. Hydrographer: Nah we are currently on 0.00025% of 100. My mind is blown away how big the earth really is.

If I ever write a novel containing underwater scientists I'm going to absolutely mimic the conversation style of these videos.🤣

[@simplecanadian2940]

The EV seems to really be affecting the sea life. I wonder how much of this is due to the lights? Has there been much work done to try and image these areas *without* using the spotlights? A low light camera on a stationary (very stationary) EV may yield a different perspective. Great videos as is, with the lights. Thanks!

Do Chimeras have Lateral lines like sharks? Are they distantly related?

Thank you so much for doing what you do, I've learned so many things about sea life through your channel and streams, you guys make everything so fascinating. I used to tune into practically every single stream no matter what else was going on, and I'm starting to do so again lately, I just love having it on in the background. It's all so positive and informative and everyone involved is just so passionate and happy to be doing what they love.

The absolute joy and enthusiasm these people have for their job is what makes these videos so fun to watch. It’s engaging, and makes you want to learn more. I come across your videos every so often and every time it makes me so happy and want to learn more! A few hours ago I watched some of the current livestream and I forget the exact things said but the topic was UTC time and the two men discussing it made the topic so entertaining to listen to. I swear anyone in these videos could talk about paint dry and make it interesting! The absolute joy in your voices make me want to learn more, and the people I’ve shared your videos with agree. Thank you so much for sharing your videos and making the amazing organisms of the ocean more accessible to the public! I know for a fact that this channel will be the thing to bring people into this field. Keep up the amazing work! I hope all of you have an amazing day and find even more things!
