Nat Geo's Expedition: Saving Our Seas - Official 'Southern Ocean - Hydrothermal Vent' Clip

Dive into the Southern Ocean as a research team, using the remotely operated vehicle SuBastian aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute's research vessel Falkor (too), discovers the most southerly deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the planet and its habitat in this clip from Nat Geo's Expedition: Saving Our Seas, an upcoming documentary narrated by Ocean Conservationist Auliʻi Cravalho (‘Moana’). Nat Geo's Expedition: Saving Our Seas premieres November 13, at 9 p.m. EST on National Geographic and streams the next day on Disney+ and Hulu.

Observing the Ocean’s depths nearly 13,000 feet below the surface through the remotely operated vehicle SuBastian aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s research vessel Falkor (too), a cohort of Explorers in the Southern Ocean, including oceanographer Dr. Andrew Thurber, biological oceanographer Dr. Kim Bernard and microbial oceanographer Dr. Allison Fong, surveys the basin’s depths and its icy surface in this clip.

Expedition: Saving Our Seas is a one-hour documentary special showcasing the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Ocean Expeditions — a multiyear trailblazing scientific research and storytelling transect covering all five Ocean basins to document the impact of rapid environmental change.

The documentary follows teams of National Geographic Explorers as they investigate our global Ocean, from seashore to seafloor and pole to pole. Combining cutting-edge technology with the knowledge of coastal communities, they chase the discoveries and solutions needed to protect our Oceans at a critical moment.
