[@melissasalasblair5273]

Thanks so much, always an amazing journey 🌊🚣‍♀💭💡

[@lauriemartin490]

The thing that fascinates me so much about hydrothermal vents and cold seeps is how much they show that our planet, even far below the surface, is alive in a way and creating life all the time. There is very little footage that is more satisfying to me than a cluster of tube worms extending and contracting their frills. Another amazingly entertaining and educational video. I am really looking forward to Part 3 of this series. Thank you so much for all your hard work to create such high quality content.

[@arthas640]

it is kind of crazy where we keep finding life. I've heard of some bore holes like the Kola deep bore hole that found invertebrates hundreds of feet below the surface and microbes as deep as 1400m/4600ft. They've found microbes and even spiders flying in the upper atmosphere.

[@johnzaccagnini8317]

💯% AGREE!!!😊

I'm not sure how to feel about people falling sleep to an educational video

[@jodyknight]

@@hanwenhengliu3776 Lol I know what you mean, but I must confess I do this too. Only with educational videos. I can only fall asleep to these videos once I've watched them a few times and it's like hearing a very familiar soothing story that is interesting but predictable because I've seen it. I just relax into their voice, which also has to be good like this man's voice is, and then fall asleep. I can only do this to very good quality content, so it's no sign of being bored or not being engaged by it either.

[@skylarcrazher]

for anyone like me who was heartbroken at 12:45 ,,, i read somewhere that the layer that forms is usually not very thick unless they sit there and keep agitating the bubbles, and generally they can scrape the icy layer off, so it's not doom for them, just a weird little experience :')

[@skylarcrazher]

and yes i full on got my heart broken because the crab looked so shocked and i was worried for it ok xD

[@starinajar13]

Yesss me too :( I felt so sad for that crab but I'm glad you gave the extra info!

[@exh174]

I LAUGHED SO HARDDD THE MILK MUSTACHE

[@ir0n392]

I mean sometimes you need to disassociate your feelings when it comes.to nature. I remember a great analogy that a comedian made that when watching nature documentaries, in one episode the gazelle is trying to escape the cheetah hunting it (in which you wish the gazelle to get away), and in the next it shows the cheetah had cubs and is just trying to feed them (so then you support the cheetah..) lol. I realise that cold seeps are different but my statement stays the same that when it comes to nature, best to disassociate your emotions.

[@MsOpium]

Heartbroken?? For a crab? You do realize there are 4,500+ crab species and 272 million of those are jus tone species? Yet your heartbroken over a single one? Come on. That’s just nature. The natural order. Everything dies.

[@astrumespanol]

Another great documentary with outstanding narration 🥰

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Thank you ☺️☺️ I love your films!!

[@MRptwrench]

Cold seeps make me think of extraterrestrial environments capable of sustaining life forms. The possibility of finding life under the frozen surface of Jupiter's moon Europa is the first thing that comes to mind. *yes, the hydrothermal vents here on Earth are also incredibly fascinating. I'm not playing favorites!

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Yes yes yes!!! I have my fingers crossed for the future Europa missions

[@BadYossa]

Given the insane number of stars with our own, smallish galaxy, pretty much most with exoplanets, you don't need a degree in probability mathematics to consider life elsewhere is a given, regardless of the form it may take. The mind truly boggles!

[@johnzaccagnini8317]

Good point... Someone should look into that..... Lol! But for serious I was not aware of this fact, that's something to ponder upon...😮

[@gr8testsc0tsman31]

I adore the fact you can watch each episode individually without having watched the others. You always set up the basics in such an easy way to understand, great job!

[@annanoelle5204]

I found this channel yesterday and its all ive been watching since! Cant express enough how amazing the production and research for these videos are. And all the footage!! Who knew a place that seems lifeless is so colorful and active!?!

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Thank you so much for this ☺️

[@SFRZRD]

I’m not the type to comment things like this normally, but hey it can’t hurt. I’ve recently gone through a tough breakup after moving to sunny South America with my boyfriend, meaning I’m losing a lot of my new life and about to be moving back to our miserable, gloomy little island of a home country, a prospect which terrifies me and in recent times left me feeling down enough that the unthinkable became a possibility. But then, I found you and your channel, and for the first time in so long I’ve felt that warm comfortable feeling in my chest again, every video is a trip to somewhere more peaceful and quiet where I don’t have to think contemplate, fight or question anything. Just peace. So genuinely from the bottom of my heart (and as a fellow Brit), thank you for all that you’ve done here, you’ve helped someone begin to get out of a very dark place.

[@Alkorri]

This is a year late, but I hope you are in a better space :) Warm wishes from an internet stranger

[@SFRZRD]

@Alkorri hello internet stranger, I won’t lie to you, I’d forgotten about this comment, and getting the notification from you really made me realise just how wildly different my life is today vs the day I wrote that, I managed to stay in South America, and I even have a new relationship now which is going so well it feels like a fairytale. Thank you for the kind message, it really made me appreciate things and in this world, such warm words are rare. I hope you’re navigating life okay too, and I hope you have health and happiness. :)

[@enkommentoie2636]

Oh, I've been positively obsessed with your videos about other marine ecosystems (especially the brine pools) so I'm thrilled to watch this one!

[@laurenmary9296]

Yeah that brine pool video is dope. I've watched it so many times! I can't get over how naturally talented this kid is. It's pleasantly baffling.

[@fish_wizard618]

[@interface5389]

I love watching these as I draw, I would for you to make some documentaries taking place in shallower more tropical waters, I know deep sea can be more interesting because the creatures and relationships are so different, but tropical regions have interspecies relationships of great complexity too, I would love for you to cover it.

[@kmngai3977]

this video of the deep abyss have brought me such peacefulness. thankyou. the bg music and the voice the editing everything is pure bliss

[@shrimpofdeath5199]

The voice makes me want to relax and nap but the information makes me want to stay awake and learn everything about the deep sea.

[@zachb8012]

It's almost like deep sea trawling is a fundamentally flawed means of fishing which inevitably contributes to the collapse of its own source of revenue, and you know, the rest of the biosphere. While other forms of fishing can be done sustainably, you can't sustainably fish when the bi-catch plucked from nets consists of entire ancient ecosystems.

[@williamchamberlain2263]

OTOH it requires almost no brains to run a trawling operation, so there's that.

[@GianJin]

Good job Leo! Yet another great video. Your videos have not only been always informative and beautiful to watch, but your pacing and tone of voice has helped me sleep and relax on so many occasions! Keep up the good work man 😀

I've been waiting for you to upload a new video ever since I found your channel a few weeks ago. You have the most amazing voice; it's so soothing and calm. I originally thought I had stumbled across another documentary channel until I saw your tidal pool video. It's honestly adtounding how well made your videos are. I wish you the best in life, and now I'm gonna watch this while I lay in bed. Probably gonna pass out, lol.

[@KTM625Girl]

This is great to fall asleep to but so many ads. Do you narrate any audiobooks?

[@jennifermommy9373]

I've just today been recommended your channel today and it's kinda cool. You remind me of Attenborough but your voice really carries an emotional depth that Attenborough doesn't. I do wish you had more content of this video, 20-30 min, though I understand that takes more work then I might realize but I am drawn to the longer videos so I can see and hear as much as possible to learn. Your a good "teacher" for explaining nature. Have you thought of bundling a couple videos together of, let's say, slow worms or toads. It creates a longer video, with more info. More ad space, longer vids to boost yourself in the algorithm? Just some suggestions but if you take none of them, that's cool to cuz what you have here is entertaining, informative and are beautifully produced. Either, you got a new sub!! Lol.

[@NaturalWorldFacts]

Thank you so much for this. To hear that my videos and presenting style can reach you in this way is truly a dream come true- my one goal while growing up, digging for woodlice in the garden or watching Attenborough on the telly, was to someday present my own films and spread my passion for wildlife with others! You’ve made my day :) It’s funny you should mention a film about slow worms and toads, as I’m working on exactly that! I recently got a new 4K camera and a tripod, and I’ve spent most days these last few weeks out filming in the UK’s new forest and acquiring hours worth of footage of the woodland environment, log piles, insects, innumerable toads, and slow worms, while presenting on-camera and on-location! I’ve just began the editing process and it’s looking like it may be 30-60 minutes when finished. I may cut it up to make up for how long it’s taking, but I’ll release it in its entirety at first now that I’ve heard from you that you’d enjoy that length of content :)
