    What's almost as fascinating and mindblowing as the earth we're living on is the way these beautiful scenes were captured. I can't wrap my head around how you go about filming something like this. Not just this segment, but the entirety of the "Planet Earth" movies. Nonstop high quality visuals with amazing storytelling, often filmed under extreme temperatures and/or dangerous circumstances. Massive props to the crews that are responsible for capturing these amazing images!

    • @xxCrimsonSpiritxx

      I'm just mind blown by the scenery at 3:46 ... Like just pause this image and look at it, it looks like a whole other planet! You have the light piercing the sky and the frozen clouds, a weather effect like the whirlwinds of ice, different animals on the ground going about the cycle of their life, ground rocks and mounds, even a frozen river!
      It is breathtakingly amazing!

      @xxCrimsonSpiritxx you're so right, this really looks like an alien landscape. The crazy thing is that we don't know *anything* about at least 80% of the bottom of the ocean yet! That means that there are probably even more mindblowing landscapes and creatures down there that we can't even imagine. I really hope that I live long enough to see this amazing camera crew get down there and capture some images of places that we haven't discovered yet

      I'm a science nut of 40 years, though not AS much interest in meteorology and climatology, but I'm not wholly unfamiliar with it. I've heard OF brinicles maybe 10-15 years ago, but after that long I forgot what they were if I ever knew in the first place. It's not exactly something that comes up often that it can remind you what it is. Apparently only once a decade.

  • @Dimaz42
    @Dimaz42 2 місяці тому +6524

    _"Finger of Death" refers to a phenomenon called a brinicle, which is an underwater icicle that forms when supercooled saline water is expelled from sea ice. As the denser, extremely cold brine sinks, it freezes the seawater around it, creating a tube-like structure that extends downwards. Anything the brinicle touches, such as sea life on the seafloor, can freeze in its path._
    _The speed at which a brinicle forms can vary, depending on factors like temperature, salinity, and water depth. Typically, a brinicle can form at a rate of a few centimeters to about 10 centimeters (4 inches) per minute. However, the exact speed may fluctuate depending on the local conditions in Antarctica where they occur._

      Helping/ influencing nature is a big no for film makers. They are there to document, not touch.
      In addition, the images were most certainly taken by a remote camera. No diver wants to spend hours in freezing water. So helping the starfish was not even possible, even if they wanted to.

    Perfect display of how sea can have different temperatures and densities. For the creatures that live below, the cold but much warmer temperature of their under water world is to them, like our atmosphere to us. The ice barnacle is like a catastrophic weather event similar to a tornado. To us it’s very slow but the creatures that live there also move very slowly.
