00:06:46,773 --> 00:06:50,675
<i>still a crushing 6,500
feet deep.</i>

158
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:52,244
<i>It's on the slopes of a giant</i>

159
00:06:52,278 --> 00:06:54,880
<i>underwater mountain,
or 'seamount'.</i>

160
00:06:56,816 --> 00:06:59,050
<i>It was formed
from near-molten rock</i>

161
00:06:59,085 --> 00:07:00,952
<i>forced up from under the seabed</i>

162
00:07:00,987 --> 00:07:03,155
<i>around three million years ago.</i>

163
00:07:07,226 --> 00:07:09,661
<i>Biologist Alan Jamieson
is hoping that</i>

164
00:07:09,695 --> 00:07:11,830
<i>this pioneering dive
might also add</i>

165
00:07:11,864 --> 00:07:13,532
<i>to the expedition's growing list</i>

166
00:07:13,566 --> 00:07:16,501
<i>of newly-discovered
deep-sea species.</i>

167
00:07:16,536 --> 00:07:17,869
The Molloy Seamount is the size

168
00:07:17,904 --> 00:07:19,237
of a pretty big mountain.

169
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:20,739
<i>There's a constant rain</i>

170
00:07:20,773 --> 00:07:22,407
<i>of organic matter coming down.</i>

171
00:07:22,442 --> 00:07:23,842
<i>We're looking at habitats</i>

172
00:07:23,876 --> 00:07:25,977
<i>which we think
will be covered in life.</i>

173
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:28,713
[Demetri]<i> Alan decides</i>
<i>to launch lander probes</i>

174
00:07:28,748 --> 00:07:30,549
<i>onto the seamount.</i>

175
00:07:30,583 --> 00:07:33,051
<i>Baited cameras and traps
will help in his search</i>

176
00:07:33,085 --> 00:07:35,387
<i>for new species adapted
to survive</i>

177
00:07:35,421 --> 00:07:37,289
<i>in the Arctic deep.</i>

178
00:07:37,323 --> 00:07:39,090
[Alan] Okay, Heather, pull it!

179
00:07:40,793 --> 00:07:42,994
[Demetri]<i> With the lander</i>
<i>probes descending,</i>

180
00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:44,930
<i>it's time to launch
the submersible</i>

181
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:46,665
<i>into the icy waters.</i>

182
00:07:46,699 --> 00:07:49,201
[Kelvin] Yeah, full speed out.

183
00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:51,670
Okay, we're gonna go ahead
and swing her into the pocket.

184
00:07:51,704 --> 00:07:52,971
[Frank] All right, we're clear!

185
00:07:53,005 --> 00:07:53,672
We're ready! [laughs]

186
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:57,709
[Demetri]<i> Biologist Alan</i>
<i>will be joining Victor</i>

187
00:07:57,743 --> 00:08:01,213
<i>for this trailblazing dive
onto the seamount.</i>

188
00:08:01,247 --> 00:08:02,681
[Rob]<i> Don't fall in.</i>

189
00:08:02,715 --> 00:08:04,216
<i>The water temperature
is minus one.</i>

190
00:08:04,250 --> 00:08:06,618
If you fall in,
you have two minutes left

191
00:08:06,652 --> 00:08:07,919
and then you're gonna drown.

192
00:08:07,954 --> 00:08:09,354
[Kelvin] Slack on that.

193
00:08:09,388 --> 00:08:11,656
Can somebody come down and put
some slack on that line?

194
00:08:11,691 --> 00:08:13,625
[Patrick] Roger that.

195
00:08:13,659 --> 00:08:16,394
We'll have to see
how this looks, boys,

196
00:08:16,429 --> 00:08:18,530
hey listen man,
if he has to swim,

197
00:08:18,564 --> 00:08:19,731
it's a cold [bleep].

198
00:08:19,765 --> 00:08:21,633
Gotta really be mindful
on this one,

199
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:23,368
we do not want him
going in the drink,

200
00:08:23,402 --> 00:08:24,369
that's for sure.

201
00:08:26,239 --> 00:08:29,241
[suspenseful music playing]

202
00:08:39,752 --> 00:08:42,287
[Demetri]<i> Alan and Victor</i>
<i>are safely aboard,</i>

203
00:08:42,321 --> 00:08:44,856
<i>but the launch still
has its potential dangers</i>

204
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:46,191
<i>for the crew.</i>

205
00:08:46,225 --> 00:08:48,226
One of the people
we'll be most concerned

206
00:08:48,261 --> 00:08:50,061
<i>with is our swimmer.</i>

207
00:08:50,096 --> 00:08:52,097
<i>He's exposed to the weather
most of all.</i>

208
00:08:52,131 --> 00:08:54,099
[Tim]<i> My biggest risk is</i>

209
00:08:54,133 --> 00:08:56,368
if my hands get cold,
then I'm not much good.

210
00:08:56,402 --> 00:08:58,403
[Victor]
Down in the Southern Ocean,

211
00:08:58,437 --> 00:09:00,171
our diver almost went
hypothermic.

212
00:09:00,206 --> 00:09:03,174
[woman] Have the doctor
on standby, he's shaking!

213
00:09:03,209 --> 00:09:04,843
[Victor]
<i>He was exposed for so long</i>

214
00:09:04,877 --> 00:09:07,245
<i>in extremely cold water
on the surface.</i>

215
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:08,613
So now we have back up divers

216
00:09:08,648 --> 00:09:10,749
we have a better launch
and recovery system.

217
00:09:10,783 --> 00:09:12,951
So, the real danger
is actually to the personnel

218
00:09:12,985 --> 00:09:14,219
<i>that are trying to get the sub</i>

219

220
00:09:15,855 --> 00:09:18,156
<i>I frankly
will be most concerned.</i>

221
00:09:18,190 --> 00:09:21,126
[Patrick] Alright Tim,
down to you, buddy.

222

All stop, all stop, all stop!

228
00:09:38,744 --> 00:09:40,745
Don't watch my hand. You
call out and just acknowledge.

229
00:09:40,780 --> 00:09:42,347

232
00:09:48,788 --> 00:09:50,956

kicked out there.

233

- Great.
- [Rob] Okay, Kelvin.

247

00:14:11,317 --> 00:14:14,018
What the [bleep] is going on?

314
00:14:14,053 --> 00:14:15,920
It keeps pushing me
into the wall!

315
00:14:15,955 --> 00:14:17,388
- [Alan] Really?
- Yeah.

316
00:14:18,557 --> 00:14:19,891
And we're going down.

317
00:14:19,925 --> 00:14:21,926
[Alan] Holy [bleep]!

318
00:14:24,763 --> 00:14:27,031
This is easily
the most complex terrain

319
00:14:27,066 --> 00:14:28,967
I've ever navigated.

320
00:14:29,001 --> 00:14:33,104
[suspenseful music playing]

321
00:14:33,138 --> 00:14:35,139
[Alan] Things are getting
weirder and weirder.

322
00:14:35,174 --> 00:14:36,841
[Victor] All this stuff
on the bottom...

323
00:14:36,876 --> 00:14:37,876
[Alan] What is this?

324
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:39,310
[Victor]
Yeah, what is this stuff?

325
00:14:39,345 --> 00:14:41,012
[Alan]<i> It's an incredibly</i>
<i>diverse area.</i>

326
00:14:41,046 --> 00:14:42,714
<i>There's loads
of sea lilies everywhere,</i>

327
00:14:42,748 --> 00:14:45,250
<i>there's these big wonderful
white sponges.</i>

328
00:14:45,284 --> 00:14:47,485
<i>There's a whole bunch
of prawns down here,</i>

329
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:51,322
<i>there are urchins, there are
sea stars buried in there.</i>

330
00:14:51,357 --> 00:14:53,791
[Demetri]<i> Meanwhile,</i>
<i>2,000 feet away,</i>

331
00:14:53,826 --> 00:14:55,727
<i>one of the lander probes
is capturing</i>

332
00:14:55,761 --> 00:14:59,130
<i>some extraordinary
cold-water specialists,</i>

333
00:14:59,164 --> 00:15:01,266
<i>Eelpouts.</i>

334
00:15:01,300 --> 00:15:03,735
[Alan] <i>They're quite aggressive,</i>

335
00:15:03,769 --> 00:15:05,270
<i>so when they get close
to one another,</i>

336
00:15:05,304 --> 00:15:06,671
<i>one of them will bite the
other one</i>

337
00:15:06,705 --> 00:15:08,673
<i>and they'll have
a little altercation</i>

338
00:15:08,707 --> 00:15:10,541
<i>and then they'll go
and reposition.</i>

339
00:15:13,512 --> 00:15:15,713
<i>These are not a species you
find outside of the Arctic.</i>

340
00:15:15,748 --> 00:15:19,050
<i>These are very much
a polar deep-sea species.</i>

341
00:15:19,084 --> 00:15:22,086
[dramatic music playing]

342
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:28,293
[Demetri]<i> The cold is sapping</i>
<i>the submersible's power.</i>

343
00:15:28,327 --> 00:15:30,795
<i>But the batteries have shown
that they can survive</i>

344
00:15:30,829 --> 00:15:33,631
<i>the Arctic's
extreme temperatures.</i>

345
00:15:33,666 --> 00:15:35,266
<i>It's time for Victor and Alan</i>

346
00:15:35,301 --> 00:15:37,201
<i>to head to the surface.</i>

347
00:15:37,236 --> 00:15:39,103
[Alan] Well, I guess
that's us. That was cool!

348
00:15:39,138 --> 00:15:40,672
Three and a half hours.

349
00:15:41,707 --> 00:15:44,042
<i>Surface, this is LF ascending.</i>

350
00:15:50,215 --> 00:15:53,284
[cheering]

351
00:15:53,319 --> 00:15:55,320
[Victor] Great job, guys!

352
00:15:55,354 --> 00:15:56,621
[Patrick] How was it?

353
00:15:56,655 --> 00:15:58,089
It was crazy, we went down

354
00:15:58,123 --> 00:15:59,924
a 200m wall backwards
because it was so steep.

355
00:15:59,959 --> 00:16:01,659
Then the current started pushing

356
00:16:01,694 --> 00:16:03,394
us up against the wall.

357
00:16:03,429 --> 00:16:05,063
So we ended up...

358
00:16:06,065 --> 00:16:08,232
[Victor]
Saw a lot of strange stuff.

359
00:16:08,267 --> 00:16:10,168
I mean we went all the way
down to minimal power.

360
00:16:10,202 --> 00:16:11,769
I came up
with half my batteries,

361
00:16:11,804 --> 00:16:12,837
three of them were dead,

362
00:16:12,871 --> 00:16:14,439
it was cold water so...

363
00:16:14,473 --> 00:16:16,274
All right, time to go
and get warmed.

364
00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:22,513
[Rob] <i>Conditions today are good</i>

365
00:16:22,548 --> 00:16:24,849
<i>but out to the east here,</i>

366
00:16:24,883 --> 00:16:28,286
we can expect 5.5 meters

367
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:29,854
or 20 foot seas.

368
00:16:31,290 --> 00:16:33,391
The color of the diagram shows

369
00:16:33,425 --> 00:16:35,860
the wind chill is minus eight.

370
00:16:36,996 --> 00:16:38,930
So, we can expect...

371
00:16:38,964 --> 00:16:42,066
up to 45, 50 knots.

372
00:16:42,101 --> 00:16:44,235
[Patrick] This part
of the world is notorious

373
00:16:44,269 --> 00:16:48,072
for rough seas, strong winds.

374
00:16:48,107 --> 00:16:49,741
<i>So, we just have
to be extra vigilant,</i>

375
00:16:49,775 --> 00:16:51,476
<i>extra careful,</i>

376
00:16:51,510 --> 00:16:54,679
<i>and just keep an eye
on the conditions,</i>

377
00:16:54,713 --> 00:16:56,514
we're going to have to try
and condense

378
00:16:56,548 --> 00:16:58,549
the diving that we have planned

379
00:16:58,584 --> 00:17:00,585
into a much shorter time frame.

380
00:17:00,619 --> 00:17:03,221
[Demetri]<i> Stormy conditions</i>
<i>would make launching</i>

381
00:17:03,255 --> 00:17:07,191
<i>or recovering the sub
extremely dangerous.</i>

382
00:17:07,226 --> 00:17:08,926
<i>And it could also set</i>

383
00:17:08,961 --> 00:17:11,562
<i>the unpredictable
pack ice on the move.</i>

384
00:17:14,733 --> 00:17:16,367
<i>With the weather
holding for now,</i>

385
00:17:16,402 --> 00:17:20,004
<i>the sonar team have detected
a strange signal</i>

386
00:17:20,039 --> 00:17:21,773
<i>which could point to an unusual</i>

387
00:17:21,807 --> 00:17:24,475
<i>geological feature
on the seamount.</i>

388
00:17:24,510 --> 00:17:26,110
It could be something.

389
00:17:26,145 --> 00:17:27,945
[Heather] So the data
that we're looking at

390
00:17:27,980 --> 00:17:29,347
from the sonar,

391
00:17:29,381 --> 00:17:32,050
it does a sort of show
a diffuse cloud,

392
00:17:32,084 --> 00:17:34,252
<i>something erupting
on the seabed down there,</i>

393
00:17:34,286 --> 00:17:35,553
<i>a vent system.</i>

394
00:17:37,589 --> 00:17:40,191
[Demetri]<i> Finding the vents</i>
<i>could give geologists</i>

395
00:17:40,225 --> 00:17:43,127
<i>new insight into how
the Arctic Ocean's seabed</i>

396
00:17:43,162 --> 00:17:44,962
<i>is being formed.</i>

397
00:17:44,997 --> 00:17:48,566
It'd be such a huge find
to find it.

398
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,702
[Demetri]<i> It's an opportunity</i>
<i>they can't afford to miss.</i>

399
00:17:51,737 --> 00:17:53,805
Really unusual vent features

400
00:17:53,839 --> 00:17:55,907
have never been documented
in this area

401
00:17:55,941 --> 00:17:58,176
but all indications are
that we should be able

402
00:17:58,210 --> 00:17:59,777
to find them
and that would be a first.

403
00:18:01,413 --> 00:18:04,248
[Demetri]<i> The sub could now</i>
<i>face a new threat.</i>

404
00:18:04,283 --> 00:18:06,918
<i>The Arctic may be
the world's coldest ocean,</i>

405
00:18:06,952 --> 00:18:08,719
<i>but the water coming out
of the vents</i>

406
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:11,322
<i>might be dangerously hot.</i>

407
00:18:11,356 --> 00:18:13,257
[Heather] We're probably
looking at temperatures

408
00:18:13,292 --> 00:18:16,027
of the erupting fluids
of about 90 degrees.

409
00:18:16,061 --> 00:18:17,962
Even at 90 degrees C

410
00:18:17,996 --> 00:18:19,230
is problematic.

411
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:20,965
[tense music playing]

412
00:18:30,342 --> 00:18:32,376
[Demetri]<i> On the hunt</i>
<i>for undersea vents,</i>

413
00:18:32,411 --> 00:18:35,780
<i>the sub could be exposed
to dangerously hot water.</i>

414
00:18:35,814 --> 00:18:38,349
<i>The team knows that the sub's
spherical cockpit</i>

415
00:18:38,383 --> 00:18:41,619
<i>has potential weak points
that could be vulnerable.</i>

416
00:18:41,653 --> 00:18:43,387
[Patrick]<i> I understand</i>
<i>that these hydrothermal vents</i>

417
00:18:43,422 --> 00:18:45,223
are about 90 degrees Celsius,

418
00:18:45,257 --> 00:18:47,725
<i>so the acrylic viewports
would be the thing</i>

419
00:18:47,759 --> 00:18:49,794
<i>that you'd be most
concerned about.</i>

420
00:18:49,828 --> 00:18:51,729
The design of the vehicle
is based

421
00:18:51,763 --> 00:18:53,965
around water temperatures

422
00:18:53,999 --> 00:18:56,200
not being more than 10 Celsius

423
00:18:56,235 --> 00:18:57,702
<i>at that sort of depth.</i>

424
00:18:57,736 --> 00:18:59,737
[Demetri]<i> If the acrylic</i>
<i>viewports are melted</i>

<i>by the hot vents,
the super-high-pressure water</i>

426
00:19:02,608 --> 00:19:04,942
<i>will enter the sub</i>

<i>and fill it in a milli-second.</i>

428

Okay, here we go, let's do this!

437

00:20:49,881 --> 00:20:51,015
and let everybody know?

469
00:20:51,049 --> 00:20:52,717
Rig for recovery.

470
00:20:52,751 --> 00:20:55,019
Disappointing,
but he's coming back up

471
00:20:55,053 --> 00:20:56,420
and we're going for recovery.

472
00:20:56,455 --> 00:20:57,822
<i>See if we can have a look at it.</i>

473
00:20:57,856 --> 00:20:59,690
Maybe there's something
in there, I don't know.

474
00:21:03,929 --> 00:21:05,963
Right. Um, I'm gonna strip
my gear off,

475
00:21:05,998 --> 00:21:07,765
and I'm gonna jump up there
and pull that vent out

476
00:21:07,833 --> 00:21:09,200
right away.

477
00:21:09,234 --> 00:21:10,501
[Demetri]<i> With the approaching</i>

478
00:21:10,535 --> 00:21:12,136
<i>Arctic storm

00:21:12,170 --> 00:21:13,537
<i>the whole mission,</i>

480

481
00:21:15,374 --> 00:21:17,608
<i>to get the sub fixed

482
00:21:17,643 --> 00:21:19,310
<i>as soon as possible.</i>

483
00:21:21,847 --> 00:21:23,848
<i>The sub won't be able
to dive again</i>

484
00:21:23,882 --> 00:21:27,018
<i>unless Kelvin can fix
the hatch vent.</i>

485
00:21:27,052 --> 00:21:29,253
Yeah, this is where the leak
was coming through here.

486
00:21:29,288 --> 00:21:30,788
We think that the shaft
might have been bent

487
00:21:30,822 --> 00:21:32,390
a little bit, which it is.

488
00:21:33,925 --> 00:21:35,693
So we're just gonna try and...

489
00:21:35,727 --> 00:21:37,328
try and straighten it out.

490
00:21:37,362 --> 00:21:38,529
I don't know.

491
00:21:38,563 --> 00:21:39,864
I don't know whether
it was dripping

492
00:21:39,898 --> 00:21:41,465
a little bit or a lot, you know.

493
00:21:41,533 --> 00:21:42,900
[Demetri] <i>With such a precisely</i>

<i>in the ship's workshop.</i>

497
00:21:47,706 --> 00:21:49,807
It's not gonna straighten up
in there.

498
00:21:49,841 --> 00:21:51,642
There is a variance.

499
00:21:51,677 --> 00:21:53,477
[Demetri]<i> Has Kelvin</i>
<i>done enough to make</i>

500
00:21:53,512 --> 00:21:54,845
<i>the hatch vent seal?</i>

501
00:21:56,081 --> 00:21:58,949
[Kelvin] A little bit
of backyard mechanicking.

502
00:22:04,656 --> 00:22:06,123
Patrick, that felt really good.

503
00:22:06,158 --> 00:22:07,825
- [Patrick] All right, Kelvin.
- Yep.

504
00:22:07,859 --> 00:22:09,060
It's all we can do.

505
00:22:09,094 --> 00:22:10,127
[Demetri]<i> With a turnaround</i>

509
00:22:17,502 --> 00:22:18,636
[Patrick] Let's hope like hell

510
00:22:18,670 --> 00:22:20,971
that [bleep] damn
hatch vent works.

511
00:22:21,006 --> 00:22:22,707
[Victor] Round two.

512
00:22:22,741 --> 00:22:24,475
If at first you don't succeed...

513
00:22:24,509 --> 00:22:26,344
[Patrick] Good luck,
have a good dive.

514
00:22:28,714 --> 00:22:31,082
[Kelvin]<i> Okay, bridge,</i>
<i>we're gonna go for launch.</i>

515

<i>you are good to go.</i>

516

[Victor]<i> We are now pumping in.</i>

517

[Kelvin]<i> Roger that,</i>

Pumping.

519
00:22:43,395 --> 00:22:46,364
That hatch is looking
damned solid now.

520
00:22:46,398 --> 00:22:47,531
I'm much happier.

521
00:22:48,500 --> 00:22:50,067
Surface, hatch is good.

[Tom]<i> That's good to hear,</i>

523
00:22:51,503 --> 00:22:52,970
<i>- thanks Victor.</i>
- Kelvin will be happy.

524
00:22:53,004 --> 00:22:54,305
Yeah.

525
00:22:54,339 --> 00:22:55,539
That was it Magee!

526
00:22:55,574 --> 00:22:56,941
Yeah!

You're getting excited.
You're using more oxygen.

- Am I? Sorry.

[Victor] It's true, you are.

- [Heather] Yeah.

555

All these rocks look
really dark and basaltic.

556
00:24:15,387 --> 00:24:17,822
[Victor] There's a really big
basalt rock coming up.

557
00:24:17,856 --> 00:24:20,291
[Demetri]<i> Basalt is formed</i>
<i>from solidified lava,</i>

[Heather] Pretty big boulders
off to your left.

563
00:24:35,140 --> 00:24:38,075
Boulders the size of cars
just scattered all over here.

564
00:24:39,144 --> 00:24:41,779
There looks like something
quite large coming up.

565
00:24:41,813 --> 00:24:44,815
You might want to just lift up
a little bit.

566
00:24:47,552 --> 00:24:49,520
There's definitely
something very big.

567
00:24:49,554 --> 00:24:51,755
[Heather] Oh, it's something
big, dead ahead.

568
00:24:51,790 --> 00:24:53,557
- What is it?
- [Heather] I can't see.

569
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:56,660
Wow!

[Heather] Nope, no idea.

574
00:25:14,379 --> 00:25:15,513
That is massive.

575
00:25:15,547 --> 00:25:17,615
[Victor] Right in our way.

576
00:25:17,649 --> 00:25:18,816

- Wow.
- [Heather] Jeez.

579
00:25:23,622 --> 00:25:25,055
[Victor] It's actually
pushing me backwards

580
00:25:25,090 --> 00:25:26,757
into the hole. It's pushing me
down the slope.

581
00:25:27,959 --> 00:25:30,194
All right, crikey,
you need to help me out here.

582

00:25:43,441 --> 00:25:45,109
[Heather]
Where did he come from?

586
00:25:45,143 --> 00:25:47,278
[Victor] Yeah, it happens
once in a while.

587
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,482
I'm totally going to that big
black open area.

588
00:25:52,851 --> 00:25:54,518
Woah.

589
00:25:54,553 --> 00:25:56,120
[Heather] Quite a drop-off
on that side.

590
00:25:58,690 --> 00:26:00,190
Wow.

591
00:26:04,729 --> 00:26:06,297
Kind of like
space exploration, huh?

592
00:26:06,331 --> 00:26:07,965
[Heather] Yeah. [laughs]

593
00:26:08,033 --> 00:26:09,466
[Victor]
Like on a different planet.

594
00:26:11,703 --> 00:26:13,170
[Victor] It looks like
nodules on the bottom.

595
00:26:13,204 --> 00:26:14,104
Are those critters?

596
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,741
Sort of interesting.

597
00:26:17,776 --> 00:26:20,344
[Heather] Well, yeah, yeah.

598
00:26:20,378 --> 00:26:21,879
It's very different
to what we were seeing

599
00:26:21,913 --> 00:26:24,148
coming up the
steeper sections there.

600
00:26:26,818 --> 00:26:28,285
We've got some stuff coming up.

601
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,220
Look at the sonar.

602
00:26:30,255 --> 00:26:31,889
Oh, yeah.

603
00:26:31,923 --> 00:26:33,057
[Victor] Which is interesting

604
00:26:33,091 --> 00:26:34,658
because this is all
flat sediment.

605
00:26:34,693 --> 00:26:36,160
[Heather] Yeah.

606
00:26:36,194 --> 00:26:37,328
And then we've got a big...

607
00:26:37,362 --> 00:26:38,963
God knows what's coming up.

608
00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:44,668
[Heather] This is different.

609
00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:45,836
It's undulating now. It's like

610
00:26:45,870 --> 00:26:48,138
we're on the top of a mesa.

611
00:26:48,173 --> 00:26:49,006
Look at this. Oh, wow.

612
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,941
That's a hard crust!

613
00:26:50,976 --> 00:26:52,309
[Victor] I've never seen that.

614
00:26:52,344 --> 00:26:54,211
[Heather] It's a hard crust
of some sort.

615
00:26:58,183 --> 00:26:59,249
[Victor] Oh my gosh,
there's a tunnel.

616
00:26:59,284 --> 00:27:00,618
Yes, I was just pointing
that out.

617
00:27:00,652 --> 00:27:01,685
- There's a tunnel.
- Yes.

618
00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:03,721
- There's a bloody tunnel.
- Yeah.

619
00:27:03,755 --> 00:27:04,888
[Victor] How does that happen?

620
00:27:04,923 --> 00:27:06,457

I don't know it's what to say.

945
00:41:11,602 --> 00:41:12,669
Amazing.

946
00:41:12,703 --> 00:41:14,270
What is there to say?

947
00:41:14,305 --> 00:41:15,438
We just dove to the bottom
of all five

948
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:16,940
of the world's oceans,

949
00:41:16,974 --> 00:41:18,741
it's a hell of a feeling.

950
00:41:18,776 --> 00:41:20,810
It feels fantastic.

951
00:41:20,845 --> 00:41:22,345
[man] Woohoo!

952
00:41:23,747 --> 00:41:25,281
[Victor] What little kid
doesn't want to grow up

953
00:41:25,316 --> 00:41:26,683
and be an explorer?

954
00:41:26,717 --> 00:41:28,251
And you know, if you put
your mind to it

955
00:41:28,285 --> 00:41:31,020
and you get the right people
working with you,

956
00:41:31,055 --> 00:41:32,655
almost anything is possible.

957
00:41:32,690 --> 00:41:35,692
