Underwater volcano: into the abyss

In the immensity of the Pacific Ocean, tectonic movements erect or engulf islands. In the Tongan archipelago, two unknown animals have learned to live with these ephemeral lands: a seabird that never wets its wings for fear of drowning and a blind crustacean that has found its way into the abyss. When an underwater volcano turns into an island, the destinies of these living paradoxes come together.
Directors: Bertrand LOYER, Jacques BEDEL and François de RIBEROLLES

[@bertrandloyer4480]

Dear all, I am the director of this show (part of LIFE ON FIRE series) which was filmed in 2009, during another Hunga Tonga eruption. This volcano made the news twice since, by adding an ephemeral island in 2017, then creating the most intense eruption of the XXIst century ( so far). Obviously, the tern population has been wiped out by this activity, but, according to local sources, tend to come back and nest since last November. Not a single tree is left alive !

[@kenlee5509]

I was worried that this was the case when it was mentioned as their "home". Can a rat eradication program be instituted on the other suitable islands? Quickly(please)? Maybe a tree and plant planting activity too? "Dear Tongan government, we know your ears are still ringing from the explosion, but the terns need your (our) help ..." Film it all, give updates, get donations... :)

[@ChimeraActual]

I thought that might be the case. Thanks for letting us know.

Subscribed .What a refreshingly clear and professional documentary ,No gimmicks or stupid over loud music drowning out dialogue , or silly camera angles .Just class . thank you . 10/10

[@moralfortitude...2217]

YES !!! FINALLLLLLLLY 💯💯💯

[@AvanaVana]

This is from the 2009-2012 series "Life on Fire". Episode is called "Pioneers of the Deep". Narrator is famous actor, Jeremy Irons-yes, the narrator sounded familiar, didn't he?

[@Jm4steam]

Yes!!! One example, of many "could have been excellent" documentaries....The curse of Oak island is ....the over shaky, crazy angle, over edited video and the drown out music. (History of the Universe channel has well made documentaries.)

[@moralfortitude...2217]

@@Jm4steam oak island...seems as they discover objects, seems planted/staged no matter significance or insignificant, just like you said...shaky 🤨🤨🤨 but I still enjoy watching it...

[@yourfriendlyneighborhoodin1559]

I like your review of this documentary, would you please review this refutation of the world's most popular biological theory. Evolution vs food. Food disproves evolution. Every organism no matter how small either manufacturers or collects food or it would die very quickly. Every organism identifies, ingests, digests, filters, stores, and excretes food. It has to identify the difference between food or rock. It must ingests food through a specialized opening designed to intake only food and nothing else. The food itself is useless until it is digested, a complex multi-stage process all by itself. If it cannot store the energy from the digested food at least temporarily it would die. Then it must filter the waste products or die from internal toxicity. And then excrete the waste products through an orifice specifically designed to excrete the waist and only the waist, the precious blood or cytoplasm must remain inside the body. An Evolutionist wants you to believe that a life-form came together in the beginning with all of these features in place with no help and no time for natural selection... this would be the equivalent of a car capable of making another car inside of itself... because if it cannot reproduce it would be forever alone and die old age. God created life.

Jeremy Irons always does a great job narrating these things

The fact that it's Jeremy freakin Irons narrating this, just makes me love this channel even more

Same here. I reside in Puna. Awesome video + Jeremy Irons' classic voice.

[@wbrucesimpson]

Another terrific video. So much amazing undersea footage, a great storyline...you had me cheering for a shrimp and a tern?, and a gentle and informative narration. I was thinking I didn't have the time, but this was engrossing and worth every minute spent viewing.

[@darionclub2158]

Loving Jeremy's voice for this amazing documentary!!!

[@robotboy719]

Much of the photography here is stunning. The shot of the tern standing on the coconut, the terns descending on the bait ball, The grey/blue filters highlighting the textures of the ocean surface. Hope this team has done other work that I can track down.

[@kellyharrison5184]

Wow! What a great piece of film making. Educational and entertaining. Always a pleasure to hear Jeremy Iron's soothing voice.

I was looking for a "Sam Fisher"! I thought it was Jeremy Irons. It was Jeremy Irons. Sam Fisher is not a person. It is a character. Jeremy Irons is a good actor in multiple ways. The internet is just full of vague answers prolonging usage. No purpose just resources wasted.

[@airflyerflyvids7875]

I don't know the narrator, but I think he is talking in something called the Mid-Atlantic accent. It was popular among actors and voice overs for many years. Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Bette Davis, and Orson Welles employed what’s known as a “Mid-Atlantic accent,” a sort of American-British hybrid of speaking that relies on tricks like dropping “R” sounds and softening vowels, in order to convey wealth and sophistication on the silver screen.

[@terencefredrick9726]

Very well done
