  • What a difference a year makes!
    In October 2020, E/V Nautilus returned to the Davidson Seamount whale fall in Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary to find a dramatically different scene from the one discovered just the year before.
    During the final dive of the 2019 Nautilus expedition season, our team discovered the skeletal remains of the baleen whale lying on its back.
    “It is so different,” noted scientists aboard the vessel.
    A whale fall occurs when a deceased whale descends to the seafloor, bringing with it a banquet of vital nutrients to deep-sea scavengers. A side-by-side comparison of the 2020 visual survey taken by ROV Hercules in 2019, showed that the whale fall had undergone dramatic density changes in the 12 months since our last visit. Whereas the whale fall was once covered in a thriving abundance of life in October 2019, it was nearly devoid of organisms just a year later.
    “The rib bones are just kind of disintegrated there,” said Lead Scientist Chad King. “The whole rib cage was supported last year. I mean, it was still upright and everything.”
    We sampled large pieces of bone in order to further characterize the whale and the process of decomposition that it underwent, and then we “waved goodbye” - until next year.

    This whale fall isn't going away anytime soon. The marrow inside the bones will slowly break down, giving fuel to chemosynthesis based organisms (eg. Zombie worms 😨) for decades. Even once most of the organics are broken down the remaining skeleton can function as a hard substrate reef. 🌎❤

    I watched this a year ago, when the corpse was still being covered by all sorts of things. Fascinating.

    this is so cool. not just the whale fall itself and how it changed, but to see how you navigate to it and see the vastness of just this teeny tiny bit of the ocean floor and how similar it all looks. like an underwater desert where you can´t navigate just by visual clues. on the other hand, i doubt that any creatures down there navigate by sight. or do they?

    Hey nice production quality on this one! Small additions like cuts and music will probably help get a lot more consistent viewers.

      No, the natural aesthetic of this is way better than using manufactured music and editing.
