2022 Expedition Highlights Reel - Deep Sea Exploration and Beyond | Nautilus Live

Spending over 200 days at sea in 2022, E/V Nautilus and the Corps of Exploration explored the Central Pacific Ocean with deep sea dives, seafloor mapping, and brand-new partnerships venturing into the shallow ocean. Thank you for joining the adventure as we mapped over 162,000 km2 and explored never-before-surveyed areas of the ocean floor for over 534 hours across 34 ROV dives. With expeditions ranging as far as the Pacific Remote Islands and Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monuments, we ended our season close to Hawaiʻi launching the From Shore to the Abyss partnership program with near coastal research projects focusing on wildlife biology, maritime heritage, and plastic pollution. This highlight reel shares some of our adventures beneath the sea and the inspiring people and technologies that made them possible.

With over 8.3 million views of our exploration discoveries, we are proud to share a love of ocean exploration and science with communities worldwide. Thanks to the collaboration, partnerships, and our loyal audiences, 2022 was one of our most successful- and groundbreaking- seasons yet. Stay tuned to learn what we have in store for 2023 and beyond!

This season was made possible by the many partners who support Ocean Exploration Trust in our exploration, inspiration, and innovation mission. The 2022 expedition sponsors are NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration via the Ocean Exploration Cooperative Institute, the NOAA Office of Coast Survey, NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, the Office of Naval Research, and the National Geographic Society.

i always adore these streams and compilations because i feel like so many people think science is very serious and boring and stoic and it's not!! it's people seeing sea cucumbers or siphonophores and saying "i love you!! you are so cute!!! you are my favorite!!!" it makes me so happy :)

Scientist sees a crab holding an anemone “what is he doing with it?” The other scientist “he holds it 🥺” “where is he going with it?” “He loves it 🥺🥺”

The student driver sticker in the background at 30:41 almost made me choke on my drink lol

While watching this, I'm just imagining the HOURS and HOURS or tireless prep, scanning & just endless waiting that goes into these expeditions.
All that effort for these "2 minute moments"....
Totally worth it! ❤👍🥰

38:22 This whole next minute had me jumping up in my seat in celebration like my team had just won the World Cup or something 🤣👍

Cthulhu rises from the deep. These scientists: AWWW WOW! How pretty! I love him!🥰
This is my favorite channel btw.

I have an intense fear of the ocean, but I try to find videos like this every once in a while to appreciate the ocean and everything in it. I think if I didn't have this phobia, I would have loved to go into a field like this. Maybe in the next life. For now, I will watch from afar, safely in a land locked state <3

Your Youtube channel is changing our opinion on the seabed and the life of sea creatures in general.

Your way of commenting on the videos is also just as extraordinary: wonder is a form of invigorating faith

Really thank you for everything

Its crazy to think for thousands of yrs all these beautiful creatures were just living their lives out unnoticed in the dark. Im so glad we have the tech to see this stuff!!!

I clapped when the Sea Urchin went into the box. I love how the guy kept saying is that just one? That Coral was like something from a horror movie, but beautiful at the same time. Thank you all you Boys and Girls for taking us along. I always love the commentary 🤣 and information.
When I watch this I always think of a teacher who says now? boys and girls I want you to use your imagination and draw me something you think might be under the Ocean, only its no longer an imagination it's for REAL.

[katydidiy]

If everyone loved their jobs like you guys obviously do, what a peaceful world it would be!

[chocolatefrenzieya]

I love learning the technical terms like, "flappy flaps". 🤣❤

[jackp]

Fantastic job on all the expeditions! Go EVNautilus!

[shannonrickard]

Even with such incredible footage as this, it's hard to imagine what it truly looks like down there without the lights. And also how much beauty is hidden.

[thelaughingtiger]

Thank you all for the wonderful opportunity to learn more about our oceans. The commentary by the scientists is adorable. This channel is the most entertaining, and a fun way to learn.

[RingerMusic]

Thank you to the EVNautilus team. You guys always bring great footage and incredibly funny commentary! Keep up the good work guys!

Man, the "brick road" at 20 mins in was wild

[Alcatrazrezz]

Thank you for all you're hard work once i get my marine biology degree I hope to join the team and help explore our oceans

[TheZabbiemaster]

I absolutely love listening to the marine biologists going "Oh My God it has a grumpy

[theincredibleauraaa]

I love this channel not only because it’s so informational, but you guys also bash the belief that scientists are super serious all the time. If I’m being honest, one of you has probably used the word “skrunkly” to describe an animal you’ve seen. and if it hasn’t happened yet, then it’s definitely going to happen eventually.
