How can this channel only be sitting at 300+k subscribers?? Its is one of the best science documentary sites I have ever seen. If this had been available during my time at school i would have paid way more attention. But it was the 80s and Ferris Bueller so I sit here 40 years later catching up and being educated and highly entertained. Well done Astrum Earth Team 👏👏👏👏👏👏

"The visuals and narration are absolutely spellbinding. Felt like I was exploring the deep sea myself!"

9:52 started out pretty cool, but how did I end up watching a geology video? I wanted to see some crazy animals or aliens bruh.

Exploring the bottom of the ocean is far more important than exploring the Moon, a lifeless ball of dust and rock.

I'm afraid of the deep sea, but I can't resist the urge to learn about it.

Watching this makes me feel small, curious, and strangely calm at the same time. The deep ocean holds so much mystery and humility. Wishing everyone here a sense of wonder, peace, and gentle curiosity tonight 🌊✨

If I won the lottery I’d do a project where I’d lower strong stated heavy bait multiple times to get awesome footage

funny how they have only explored 0.001 percent of earth and unlikely we will explore the remaing 90 percent

It’s humbling to realize that while we’re up here stressing about emails and traffic, there’s an entire world 11km down that has never seen a ray of sun or heard a single human word. The silence down there isn’t empty; it’s heavy with secrets.

Whoa, your explanation was genuinely fascinating. The way you break things down is so clear and creative! it honestly feels like you were made for this kind of content. I didn’t even realize 34 minutes had passed because I stayed completely hooked the entire time, not once zoning out.🔥 And I have to admit, your accent definitely helped too. It made the Mariana Trench feel even deeper somehow. Not saying I’d watch another 34 minutes just to hear it again… but I absolutely would😂

I wish with all my heart and soul that I could see the beauty of the deep sea, it's so sad knowing I won't.

We should focus more on exploring the ocean than trying to send a manned mission to Mars.

surreal how 11km on land seems so normal but in the ocean-

it is truly devastating how us humans are quickly destroying all of this beautiful life even before we have the change to fully understand it and appreciate it...

Pretty much all mythical creature sightings came from creatures in this trench.

To be fair, the Ocean Gate submersible accident was completely avoidable. Had they not insisted on using carbon fiber for their submersible pressure vessel, they wouldn’t have had the accident.
