New Discovery In The Deep Ocean

Scientists just discovered over 100 new species living on underwater mountains that we didn’t know were there! Here’s how they found them and why it matters for how we search the deep ocean...
The first thing to know is the surface of the ocean isn’t flat. There are tiiiiny dips and bumps on the surface over trenches and mountains on the sea floor - which sounds crazy, but it’s because of tiny changes in Earth’s gravitational field. And we can actually detect those bumps and dips with satellites.
So recently, a research crew working to map the ocean floor noticed some weird bumps in the satellite data and went to go investigate. They used sound waves - “sonar” - to map the ocean floor there in more detail
and discovered massive undersea mountains right here. And on those mountains, they found tons of species that seem to be new to science.
I love this. There is always more to discover about the world :)

We’ve noticed quite a few comments asking for the sources for this video. If you’re interested in learning more about Schmidt Ocean Institute’s Seamounts of the Southeast Pacific Expedition, led by Dr. Javier Sellanes of the Universidad Católica del Norte, Chile, and an international team of deep-sea experts, all of the ROV dives, video blogs, and science stories are on our account. Thank you.

[@joeyhoy1995]

The story of the fires at that library are over blown at best. There were multiple fires and each time they destroyed small amounts of works. Many of which were likely unimportant to our modern life, and likely ever saw any practical use at the time anyway. How many books at your public library go unchecked out for decades? ​@@majdgamer1983

Correction: The new underwater species were found on separate seamounts near the new seamounts discovered using sonar while en route from Costa Rica to Chile. Check out the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s website for more information!

Looks like a dumbo octopus, which I thought was around for a hot minute

[@patrickmccurry1563]

Ditto. But interesting for one to live on an underwater mountain, since a quick search says they usually live quite deep.

[@tyeddy4708]

It definitely looks like a Dumbo octopus but maybe its a new sub species or something. But I've seen like over half of them before so I feel like something wasn't conveyed properly in this video

Yeah that's a whole ass genus. There's more than one dumbo octopus.

For anyone interested, this particular expedition is almost certainly SOI Divestream 638 on KZbin and the name of the channel is Schmidt Ocean. Read a Natgeo article about this recently with the exact details, and according to it this was on seamounts off the coast of Chile. Extremely disappointed you didn't even mention the fact that this was undertaken by the Schmidt Ocean Institute, who livestream their expeditions for free on KZbin. Please include sources in your description so we can know more about the topics you talk about.

[@TraceyIsNotMaryGrace]

95% of the ocean is unexplored and 95% of our universe. Light travels around earth 7 times in one second. So imagine how long it takes it to travel a year? Now imagine billions of light years. The OBSERVABLE universe is more than 46 billion light-years in any direction from Earth and 93 billion light-years in diameter. Most people can’t conceptualize even one billion - If you, and one descendent per generation, saved $100 every day, and each of you lived for 90 years, it would take you and 304 generations of your descendants to save up ONE billion dollars. So there’s plenty to discover🙂
