Haunted, Mysterious, Moving "Eye" in South America | What on Earth? | Science Channel

It’s an Eyeland.

Really??? It's a body of water with a thick mat of vegetation. As the wind blows, it moves. The mystery is why anyone would think this is a mystery.

For anyone curious, the moving mass in the middle isn’t actually an island but more like a bunch of plants that grew together and tangled up

“Could it be geography?” … “ no it’s clearly haunted you fool”

It's a mat of plants floating on the water and any current or the wind will move it around. Mystery solved. 😒

I solved the mystery! The island is floating plants, and the magic that is moving it is called ✨Wind✨

I'm sick of shows like this. Turning something that naturally happens into something supernatural or extraterrestrial. This needs to stop.

It’s a tussock. Literally just a mat of vegetation and mud floating on the lake. They start attached to the shore from reeds, but storms can detach them and leave them free floating.

This is what the Dark Ages must have been like 24/7. Just a lot of bewildered and confused people scurrying around in sackcloths screaming at bumblebees.

Somebody said “it’s an Eyeland” 😂

I'm so happy that everyone seems to understand how non mysterious this "mystery" is

As a scientist it is sad to see how far so called educational programs have declined

Clearly it's floating around. I have an inflatable 🍩 in my pool that is also moving. Should I call these people to investigate that?

My iq is dropping after watching this

It's a mat of vegetation floating around, it's not even the only one in Patagonia.

This is how a simple explanation gets turned into a 10 minute side trip.

This is a genuinely pretty cool natural phenomenon, described in the most annoying, clickbaity, unscientific way imaginable. It's a mat of vegetation on a roughly circular pond that rotates when the wind blows on it (or maybe there's a current, hard to tell). And if you're so curious, *just go look at it.* It's in South America, not on Mars.

Some guys on a beach somewhere recently dug a man-sized hole in the sand and the locals thought it was a small asteroid crater, look it up, this really happened. It got dozens of spectators and a local news report featuring one self-proclaimed "geological professional" explaining how he recognized a small rock in the crater as an asteroid and how it made it from space to the beach. If I remember correctly, the rock was actually granite. Society is legitimately moronic.

And the channel is called the "Science" channel. Wonderful

Glad we have this extremely smart woman to investigate this mystery
