Beneath the Frozen World - Cousteau in Antarctica

[boxingfanrwl]

@elvisjbeatles143 Rod Serling inventor of The Twilight Zone

[elvismjbeatles143]

Who's the Narrator?

[elvismjbeatles143]

@elvismjbeatles143 Nevermind...

[Marmalade000000]

Fantastic and just gorgeous mother nature is!!

[FantasticBob7000]

Damn why aren't today's movies this cool. Now you get nasty narrators like Tom Cruise & Leo DiCaprio.

[tovk909]

Very well equipped boat: helicopter, hot air balloon, submarine...

[whiteboy7890]

fuck man i wish i could explore the world like this

[cuadfromts]

Something about the old timey sound track really works. What a trip.

[WarRogers]

Lucky bastards going over Antarctica in a hot air balloon. So jealous ...

[lotorobly]

mission impossible: teaching french to pinguins*

[hahehihohu12]

long ago I watched a video from jacques cousteau with calypso chasing dolphins and then someone swimming with humpback whales, with a baby one too, anyone knows where I might find it?

[Anetuka]

Does somebody have the next episode, at least in French or English, please?, because my VHS tape was plastered with a silly reality show on the recording.

I'd be very grateful

Love from Anetuka

[Myadventurechannel]

Jacques Cousteau is my favorite explorer. mainly because he was one of the few, who realized how fragile this planet is & dedicated his life to doing something about it. Viva la Calypso just her presence, conveys a desperately needed message of hope. In a world so badly damaged by nearly all of our species exertions.

[jablonsky67]

Best narrator. EVER.

[RowleySnyderAblah]

What a great group of adventurers. I love that they all wear their little orange caps. They just leap into the water off of an iceberg and swim to their little inflatable boat. What a great adventure and so french and stylish and manly at the same time.

[MrFatheroffive]

Took me back to sunday night TV after bath time. This was the reason I became a diver, and now my five children dive as well.

[murmurmouth]

@MrFatheroffive LOLOLOL "after bath time"..must admit I did the same thing.

[kraftymomma1979]

My dad hated television. We were restricted from watching TV on school nights except for holiday specials, PBS programs that he deemed important, and every bit of Jacques Cousteau that ever aired in America. I didn't grow up to be a scientist or an explorer, but I do love nature and deeply appreciate the individuals who study and fight to preserve it. God bless the Cousteau family!

[mozartgenetics]

@kraftymomma1979 My television was heavily restricted as well, but for different reasons. We did not have cable and could only get three stations. Our neighbors would talk about TV shows as though everyone knew them well. I would have no idea what they were referring to. It is funny that now I am 50 and have cable for my renters, I still do not watch TV. I stopped watching TV in my mid 20's because it insulted my intelligence. I now only watch cooking shows and an occasional movie.

[bigbearjb4]

I'm waiting for the narrator at any moment to say "Will switching to Geico save you 15% or on car insurance"

[gatanegra1234]

I feel like he's going to say that the Calypso ended up in "The twilight zone" :o)

[operatuch]

imagine this in high definition, omg

[src438]

Amazing video!

[XXXXTHEJACKALXXXX]

I love Steve Zissou

[faheyfan]

I would give anything I own to be on this expedition, at that time in history.

[faheyfan]

They are lucky they didn't go too far over antarctic, over the MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS

[rflaggwalkingdude]

This brings back great memories, I learned to dive because of these movies, granted, not in the antarctic...

Great to see the Calypso and crew again and hear Captain Cousteau's voice again.

[weebles1970]

Yes it is Rod Serling ............. NICE!!!

[mozartgenetics]

Cousteau brought us images that most of us would never get to see. I remember when his son fell into a crevace and died. He continued the exploration until it was over. I was in my first year of college and this almost made me sick for a while.

[MEL3D]

Great to see Captain Jacques Yves Cousteau in Argentinians seas, so many emotionts came to my mind, i remember watching the program with my phather years ago. Great video, we need so much actually more Cousteau and Calypsos !!!

[PaleHearse]

Untethered hot air balloon flight over an antarctic sea.. what could possibly go wrong?

God I love these guys.

[blunklaura]

@PaleHearse Need more hot air? Take a few politicians along! I'd say Sarah Palin but you can only hear "I can see Russia from here!" so many (well,few) times before tossing her overboard.

[PaleHearse]

@blunklaura

You trolling videos to start political arguments? I'd take Sara Palin over Barbra "I worked hard for this job" boxer any day. Boxer and Pilosi are so full of hot air they don't even need a balloon.

[blunklaura]

@PaleHearse Nope,neither trolling nor seeking to start online arguments,especially on YouTube...was just stating my humble opinion and I am sorry if I offended!

[valdezmiguel2]

jaques couseau? more like gay-ques bore-slow.

[chocayto]

so much respect

[Fussinated]

Now they said that shooting from baloon would be less expensive and more silent. Then how did they shoot the baloon in the air?

[Livingthestream]

what heroes--thanks for all your adventures and for sharing

[ShamblesComedy]

Inspiring travelers...what a great production this was...real passion!

[Anetuka]

Love the music, it's so beautiful.

[blastforth]

Originally, the Calypso was a minesweeper, HMS J-826, built in the USA and loaned to the Brits under Lend Lease in 1942. How ironic it is that the ship that help introduced millions to "deez peaceful creatures of the sea" was once a warship.

[Anetuka]

@blastforth Additionally, the Calypso also counted with an special aircraft named "Catalina", which was also used once as a guard plane during World War II, and, as it was said on the 33th chapter of "The Undersea World", ironically changed its role into a pacific one.

[chocayto]

Cousteau is really a great guy. He gave me the passion to explore the nature

[blastforth]

Rod says this is part three of a four part series. Is the whole series available on DVD? For me, this brings back memories of the 70s. But I want to see more of it anyway :)

[leeroynaggins]

Soon to be destroyed by oil drilling...

Meet mr. Jacques-Yves Cousteau, little does he realize he's about to enter...The Twilight Zone, Bum Bm Bm duddn Dunn :)

[DENISPANAMA]

48:51 minute de vidéo, comment ils ont fait pour le mettre sur le site si quand on veut monter une vidéo on a droit à seulement 10 minutes maximum!!!!??????

[alexandrenoiseux]

@DENISPANAMA c'est parce que la fondation cousteau autorise sa diffusion officielle sur youtube

[Kinshasa9200]

@DENISPANAMA je pense que ce regle a commence apres que ils ont mittent le video en youtube. desole, je suis americain et mon francais n'est pas le meillieur.

[DENISPANAMA]

@Kinshasa9200

Don't worry i understand.

Did you lived in Kinshasa? I did it between 1978 an 1985 when i was a kid.

[holden20072007]

@DENISPANAMA Good question. I wondered the same thing. But I'm glad to get the chance to see the whole episode.

[intron1]

Where can we buy the rest of this? Or any of the missions of crew of the Calypso?

[ChristofferGroen]

This is a lovely doc... 5 stars

[PaleHearse]

God I love the French... and I'm not joking. There is just something about the casual attitude to doing crazy stuff.

Ok. I guess they figure "Hey.. We're already headed to the Antarctic.. so compared to that smoking while loading fuel isn't even worth considering.".

Great stuff.. I dearly miss him and his crew.

[guacacuda]

he was my inspiration, i`m been a commercial diver for 37 years now!!!

[meforgodforall]

beautiful.

Original air date: March 3rd, 1974.

[Kirbylivnewton]

"I was in a world I had never seen before, a world of cold and ice and days that never ended. Before the mission was over... I would gain a new respect for the power of nature and for the explorers and adventurers who dared to risk the cold and ice at a time when nobody knew what to expect, and when only the wooden hull of a sailing ship stood between them and the elements."

- Walter Dean Myers

[imthelittlesealgirl]

hahahahah yeah ohmygod its totally him wow !!!!!!!! hhahahaa awesome

[Williyf]

a true life aquatic

[stagesixx]

Thanks for posting. That's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for.

[veslaskigirl]

Notice they're smoking right next to the fuel barrels...Hardy sorts, those.

[shalashaskalives]

yes cousteau, yes yes yes! that narrator must have moonlighted on black-sploitation movies.

[bikenik]

@shalashaskalives The narrator - Rod Serling - was the creator/host and main writer of the popular 1960's TV show 'The Twlight Zone'.

[spetsnaz5]

@bikenik I love his voice.

[PindzMedia]

wtf at 37:08 ?? USO

[nanocalp]

i like ice =D

[whovian1971]

Is that Rod Serling?

Calypso is about to enter THE TWILIGHT ZONE!

[ralpher05]

sounds like him.

[Cindylover1969]

It is indeed.

[blunklaura]

@whovian1971 Good Lord it is...

[TheDrunkenSwede]

@whovian1971

Pure epic.

[atomicplayboy4u]

@whovian1971 Sounds like him unless someone is pretending to be him.

[AndyLevey]

@whovian1971 I was thinking the same thing!!

[gatanegra1234]

@whovian1971 It's definetively him! I can hardly concentrate in what he says, but I'm all the time just waiting to hear when is he going to say that the Calypso began its journey into THE TWILIGHT ZONE (and then the little music that follows) lol!

[dmarkj22]

@whovian1971 Lol dude you made me chuckle.

[kalejut]

@whovian1971 LOL! Thanks for ruining it dick!

[ferestrad]

Our World like a Gigantic Body, and all of us their micro-organs...only, nothing more.

[MisterHolaMan]

So you think that if we weren't corrupt and greedy but we let our population run rampant, we'd be fine?

[Agentcapture]

Don't worry...nature and human kind always find away...

[procommenter]

"In order to stabilize world population, it is necessary to eliminate 350,000 people a day. It is a horrible thing to say, but it's just as bad not to say it." — Oceanographer Jacques Cousteau, as quoted in "The Courier," a publication of the U.N. Educational, Scientific & Cultural Organization (U.N.E.S.C.O.)

[Theotim92]

Yes Cousteau was right !

There's too much people for the resources of Earth.

But first we should recommend to not make so much babies, it would be a good beginning (for Africa and some Asian countries especially). Less babies and population will decrease naturally.

[procommenter]

Cousteau said it is necessary eliminate 350,000 people per day, that means murder.

[Theotim92]

As nobody could do that, a good beginning is to regulate birth.

As I said especially for population who make lot of babies such as african and some asian (maybe some south american too)

[procommenter]

Do you mean that someone should kill the babies of poor people? The World Health Organization is killing babies now.

[Theotim92]

No, not kill.

But not making babies !

[kligor1]

Eugenicist pig!

Your brainwashed ideology makes me sick. Theres enough room on this earth for all of us.

[MisterHolaMan]

You're a fucking idiot dude. If you literally think about it, yes there is enough room for us to walk around. That's not the point! The point is that we as a dominant species are destroying the world for other living things. We're not the only thing that lives here! By overpopulating, we are using more resources which destroys the planet, disrupting other populations further, and we leave remnants every where! What a disgrace! You only don't want less people because you lack logic.

[kligor1]

I suggest you read the works of Malthus and read into the history of the eugenics movement in order to see where your way of thinking comes from. It is inherintly flawed and evil. If we treat the earth properly, it can support us all and more. These genetically modified crops are killing our land. If we used more efficient foods such as hemp, we could easily feed the entire planet.

[MisterHolaMan]

Inherently flawed and evil? It's human nature that's evil. That's what got us here. It's the feeling of "I have to find away that defies nature and keep as many people around because otherwise society will call me evil."  Nature will get what it wants. I don't agree with the people who want to kill 350,000 people daily, but I have enough intelligence to realize that the world will be fucked when we develop a cure for cancer.

[kligor1]

Human nature is not evil. The nature of a part of humanity is. This is the part that advocates eugenics such as you. After much traveling, I can tell you from personal experience that in many parts of the world selfishness does not exist. Humans are not a disease liek some would like you to believe, but are just another part of nature that can live harmoniously. Any disharmony with nature is caused by a small fraction of our population.

[kligor1]

And if you look into this, you will see these are those same people who advocate the drastic reduction of the earths population. You should watch the movie endgame for proof of this.

[MisterHolaMan]

I'm not eugenic, I'm not anything! I just hate watching the world getting overrun with people like it is now, and if you haven't noticed, industrialized countries are the largest in the world, and you think they're not causing huge imbalances?

[kligor1]

These huge imbalances are caused by politics and greed. It has nothing to do with humanity as a whole. If you would like to know exactly how these imbalances are engineered, read confessions of an economic hitman or watch some interviews with the author on youtube.

[dstoffel22]

Thanks for posting, can't wait to see Calypso re-born!

[tuna1986]

i love diving because of watching this as a child

[donnie2164]

I remember when i was just a kid watching these every week i was glued to the tv , thank you

[BigAngeloSantorini]

No. Michel Laval dies in this expedition when a helicopter blade hits him. Philippe Cousteau died in a plane crash or to be more precise, he died before the crash when the propeller got loose and entered the cockpit killing him instantly. Sad stuff.

[gesar2009]

[Mijavitz]

maestro Cousteau!!

[Surrealist137]

I love the asthetic of this masterpiece.

[Chick6517]

omg! i just finished watching this video for the 3rd time, and its gets better each time i watch it! I never knew you could do stuff like that!

[reYKCuf]

Google Video: Waking Life

[g33ky123]

well done i really like this one, i came to a meeting that had a former cousteau diver (stephen arrington).

[Ravenflight104]

Some have called the Cousteau series the best documentary series ever produced. After forty years, I don't believe there would be much argument with that statement.

[h2bizzle]

I'm 34 years old & honestly...I wouldn't argue with it either. I remember these as a child & I'm so happy to be able to see them again!

[umassgurl]

Not true about kIller whales, they eat seals, dolphins, penguins, and sharks. They do deserve their "killer' whale label.

[lsnows]

Woooooow! This program really fills the human mind with wonder for nature. Cousteau had a way of making science cool without looking nerdy. Thanks so much for the post.

[lesmcluffalot]

I heard he had a massive hammer!!!

[amphi8ian]

Cousteau was way ahead of his time. A true explorer. All hail!!!

[sofus330]

brilliant,5/5

[hoody232]

Where is the episode when Jacques Cousteau says "Octopus, octopus, your babies are dying"? That was one of the best episodes I've seen.

[pennypopcicle]

this is just wonderful!!!

[rtwd88]

holy s h it this is boring....i wouldnt even watch this while taking a crap

[AirBosna007]

HAHHAHAHA I feel the same ROFL

[goastbrane]

haha

[korgri]

Steve Zissou is my idol.

[scubamax222]

COUSTEAU IS MY IDOL

[fakeplasticjack]

heh, now i "get" the life aquatic

[54spiritedwill54]

I grew up watching these incredible films.

[rtwd88]

ur a loser

[drwoo29]

Did Rod Serling narrate this documentary?

[Ravenflight104]

I was watching the Jacques Cousteau You Tube video, and saw your question about Rod Serling. He did indeed narrate this series, even after forty years it is still considered one of the best narrations ever in a televised series. Serling was in a class by himself !

[deusinterra]

The documentaries of Cousteau were always the best, I would like to be able to see all these documentaries again..... Thanks for upload it, it brings to me many memories =)

[heavybubble123]

Great to see these shows again, I watched religiously as a child and continue to be inspired by Cousteau's work. Thanks for posting!

[okonomiyaki09]

tu nous manques!!

[OuTRage99]

Amazing vid.. thanks all in bring it to us here at home.

[Sosiczek]

To jest fajne, bo muszę z tego wypracowanie na przyrodę zsrobić, ale jest pewien problem - Nic nie rozumiem !!

[sharkyjones]

God I love those old Cousteau documentaries, he had a knack in his best films of bringing us to far still wild places and showing the human aspect of getting there which modern documentaries either don't do or they overdo (e.g. Steve Irwin much as I liked him). - His best expeditions of this genre were antartica, the nile and absolutely the best - AMAZON - no-one has made a better docu on this area yet!

[Sick4Paradise]

I miss Steve...

[sharkyjones]

Agreed I LOVED his enthusiasm!! He could be a little wearing after a while then a day or two later wanted to see another of his docus!! He appealed to the kid in us all!

[sharkyjones]

Agreed I LOVED Cousteau's films, he was the first to bring us down there and albeit did some crazy things (like dynamiting reef in the 50s as research / filming) it was a different era, he changed attitudes and changed his behaviours as knowledge increased. He had an ego and was a showman but so what he also had compassion and enthusiasm - he was a deeply human guy. A man i very much admire a hero of mine.

[warmachine2012]

That's not clint eastwood narrating...it's rod sterling!

[Benjamin666face]

The guy narrating sounds like Clint Eastwood getting all tough.

[halidefox]

Lol, they should include a free Virus Scan, huh? :P

[LuxorVan]

Why do women act like the Santa? He spreads Joy throughout the land.The only thing these women spread is their legs until there wider than the Gulf of Mexico. What is wrong with this picture?

[noodlebeans]

What would the world be like if Philip had not died? I wish you would post more of the movies of Cousteau.

[Artsionparas]

EANx80: Winter diving is the same as diving in cold water in Norway and Scandinavia at spring and during fall. Water is cold before it graduates to be ice... Come and see the fuzz about regs freezing.

[curea229]

I grew up watching these incredible films. It's too bad there are so few like it for kids today.

[garageflower2002]

The film 'life aquatic' must has been inspired by this.

[EANx80]

Bloody Hell.... Ice diving even these days is an arse-nipping experiance, can you imagine what it was like back then!!!!! 10 out of 10 for bravery !!

[sisterzen]

A fantastic video ... x
