Race against the tide, risking death under huge blocks of ice - Human Planet: Arctic - BBC One

[andreaszzz]

WOW

[quidproquo2004]

Who is this narrator? I know I've heard his voice before.

[Aeyrion]

@quidproquo2004 i think it's David Attenborough.

[Mycophilliac]

Balls that clank.

Suite de la description française:

C'est une course contre la montre. Ils ont à peine 30 minutes pour fouiller ces cavernes provisoires avant les remontées de marée. Quelqu’un surveille la marée retournante, mais des cris d’avertissement ne peuvent pas êtres trop forts dans le cas où les échos feraient affaisser la glace …

[enahpets960911]

Description française:

Les gens du peuple de Kangiqsujuaq dans le Nunavik, au nord du Québec, vont parcourir de grandes distances pour ajouter de la variété à leur régime de viande de phoque, s'aventurant sous la glace de mer pendant les marées basses extrêmes de l'équinoxe du printemps, afin de ramener des moules ...

[MrWdh2]

This risky gathering technique probably began thousands of years ago as a means to avoid starvation (which is even scarier). But each time it's successful, it serves to build the self confidence required to survive. This is the kind of resourcefulness our ancestors must have had, or we wouldn't be sitting here watching this on our computers.

[BlueRice]

@MrWdh2 agree. this other documentary by honda called dreams. it explain the characteristic of a human. how there are shy, aggressive, lazy energetic etc.. make up the survival of human being. without those we wont be here today. being shy you are more aware of danger what you do and how you hide.

[BlueRice]

@MrWdh2 aggressive and brave help you find food in the most hardest time but you are easy killed by anything. so everyone in this world is not weak from this point of view. your character is what kept the human being surviving all these time.

[MuLIShA3mAn88]

balls of fucking steel, even the women, balls of mother fucking steel...

[lankey32]

These people will survive the apocalypse !!

[angelpbj]

So beautiful, Mother Earth is so beautiful!!:-)

[pamula313]

Incredible video! Thanks for sharing!

[Neomaximus3]

I used to hunt mussels... then I took an arrow in the knee.

[boxcarbouche]

Camera work would be amazing to do on this show! 

[chrchase1]

If you think this is amazing wait til you check out Co-own.co where you can buy the item of your dreams with the help of other co-owners.

[sufilix]

Dumb fools they should just go to tesco's

[ompaompo]

holy shit that's intense.

[hogo1]

look at those native high intensity LEDs

[YouraStinkyTwat]

Wow!! Thats nuts..

[kamapau]

the cameraman

[Saints9R]

Just remember that the video itself is fake. These are all montages for you to look at but didnt really happen that way... The story is probably true but the video itself is just so that you have something to watch.

[ShitCrap]

I must now go buy mussels and respect & eat the shit out of them

[Kiekottaja]

the vaginas of steel.

[123121s1]

THIS IS FUCKING COOL AS HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StarMangledAstronaut]

I dont think ive ever want mussels THAT much...

[dualshock1212]

david attenborough makes nature videos a 1000 times better to watch..!!:)

[BALEnaVICO]

WOW!!!!

[ilovetodrinkblood]

0:50 the camera crew were already down there!

[princescorpion9999]

I...Wheel...Lovely...Watch...M­any...Humanplanet...hours... :)

[TheGasnik]

Weird, the low tide lasts only for few minutes!? .. Half of hour. Hmmm...!? IMHO this period should last longer. AT windfinder com you can check tide for Kangiqsujuaq

Dramatization...

[beerears]

@TheGasnik possibly the mussels are at the edge of the low tide mark.soon as the tide starts coming in its going to make the ice move and ,make it to dangerous possibly?

[xmereltjuhx]

o my god ,it's so dangerous !

[mrevilevil2]

At the risk of sounding incredibly stupid... How was the camera man in there while the man was still making a hole to get in?

[jmwwd]

@mrevilevil2 It could have been because an escape hole they dug earlier or a robot camera inside.

[L1b3rta]

Does anyone know the soundtrack / song / music from this video?

[isupplyu]

Same thing happenes when I defrost my freezer.

[mrcampbellsoupc]

It must not be that dangerous considering they let their cameraman go last out of the seafloor and let their 5 thousand dollar camera get under there..

[jeneshisugakuto]

@PostGlacialRebound CO2 wasn't the intial cause for the heating of the ice. But there is more than one way to heat a house. There are traces of CO2 and, even worse, Methane in ice. No, however the ice is melted, how many ways it could have been happening since the 70s. Release these gases into the atmosphere you're creating more imbalances. CO2 is still least of our worries. It isn't the worse greenhouse gas, but radioactive material is not something to turn a blind eye to either. Not at all.

[jeneshisugakuto]

@PostGlacialRebound may also be good to mention we always have a Greenhouse Effect, it's just when it becomes an Enhanced Greenhouse Effect we begin to have trouble.

[yurianne07]

who's narrating, john hurt?

[OssimJohn]

Cameraman is insane! D:

[RyanHeilman1]

No, no, no, Fuhkin Way would i ever try that! Damn!!!

[TheBovineLord]

@PostGlacialRebound Not disputing your claim, you definitely got the CO2 part right, but I haven't heard anything about radioactivity causing warming. Please elaborate?

[crogger321]

This video/story is amazing

[hashali]

these are the secret chambers you hear in stories and mythologies

[mch006]

WOW.. these videos are amazing. We are so fortunate to live where we live that we can just go to the super market to get our meals. So fortunate to have what we have so we can afford to eat. Great videos. I am now hooked to watching these.

[gtothesquare]

This must be one of the most dangerous jobs in the world :O

[SolidSnake032486]

Best damn muscles you ever ate if you had to do that to get them.

[RufisMusic]

<3 Human Planet these videos are amazing

[TtopMusic]

how the fuck did the camera guy get out? 2:40 looks like impossible to get out there let alone with a big ass camera

[thesecondverseband]

@TtopMusic I think they must have filmed all of that racing to get out stuff when they first went in, and then just rearranged the events in the timeline to make it look like they were running out of time

[kurtnelle]

@TtopMusic Perhaps they are using GoPro Head mounted cameras

[jordanasi808]

This is like a robbery; "Hurry before the cops come!"

[scaifie2]

You don't get much fresher mussels than that!

[ahonass]

yummy



[egyptianlily]

wow that is so cool, i had no idea the tides were that drastic!

[FalconFreek]

Damn nature you scary!

[DSRvmv111]

@FalconFreek i don't understand what is so scary.

[dolphinsneu]

@DSRvmv111 watch the video and you'll find out 

[DSRvmv111]

@dolphinsneu i did

[aymthebest]

@DSRvmv111 Are you blind or just being daft in your comfortable desk chair?

[DSRvmv111]

@aymthebest Nothing is scary here.

[dolphinsneu]

@DSRvmv111 what is scary is that you are underneath blocks of ice that could collapse on you at any moment and are trying to beat a tide that will wash you away.

[DSRvmv111]

@dolphinsneu no not scary

[EducationMattersYes]

@DSRvmv111

Yours is the weakest attempt at trolling I've ever seen. It's amusing that you got any of the attention you were craving.

[BenDoverPls]

That's what I call being hungry.

[y0nNeTte]

"the ocean reclaims its secret garden"

[OrganicDrew]

One universal truth, time is the enemy of all men, if given infinite time man could accomplish all things. In time man could and has built jet engines given nothing but the world around him in its most primitive natural form, he has built all that is good and all that is evil. People envy at the super powers found in the pages of comic books, this is so narrow a perspective, we are super beings, we are gods on earth in and of ourselves. Let us act like gods and earn our title

[yuongsoh]

damn

[Jaroldv127]

how the fuck do they get those cameras through there?

[Pillsburydieboy]

@Jaroldv127 i always think that



[dbenoit64]

its wrong for them to hunt seal because they are cute. just ask Paul McCartney

[Horsepassion4life]

what to do to find foord? In my town, just have to go to the supermarket.. But they have to risk their live for it! wow

[dingusding]

I wish we had BBC in Argentina :(

[DetectiveTuesday]

"The water's coming back! Let's go!"

[warrioryoyoyo]

[TheCaptbob1]

[iDouglas91]

How the hell did the camera man manage to get out when the eskimo barley managed to do so? CALL PHILOSIRAPTOR!

[crazyDINGshit]

[TheAstrando]

[Bullseye5477]

Muscle Of Love...Alice Cooper.

[waaromditdatenzo]

mussel hunting...that has to be the least dangerous sounding dangerous job i ever heard of

[2hamsters1couple]

@davertok Chuck Norris is the hugest pussy in the world. No one cares about him.

[rs210]

@neocon70 You are an ass hole, you are the pagan believing in a Church that has proven through out History that they care more about money and power than God and love.

[aap998]

beatuful series, bbc i lvoe you

[Mrchipples]

Lol you guys fell for an obvious troll.

[shan304]

@neocon70 theres no such thing as god... just saying

[thecheesefeed]

Tide goes in, humans come out, you can't explain that.

[areyousurethisissafe]

neocon. If you actually followed Jesus then you would know he calls you to love people who don't know him and lead them to him. Not exterminate them.

To anyone who thinks neocon represents the Way of peace as shown by Christ, then I can only apologise on neocon's behalf. Sorry.

[rherlitz]

You can't explain that

[wieuboot]

Sun goes up, sun goes down, tide goes in tide goes out

[cclose27]

Reminds me so much of the part in 'Alien' where the 3 of them investigate the derelict spacecraft!

[gareler]

that must be a very brave cameraman

[St8Solja]

I NEED THIS CHANNEL!!

[Catiebeth]

That got my adrenaline going...

[chopper753]

That's absolutely mind blowing.

[Thenas88]

[LatestUFOSightings]

@gina777416 Holy shit, you are stupid. I hope you're not serious. Aliens LOL! Retard

[granthu1216]

1:27 what the fuck is that?

[Gary2863]

@granthu1216 I think it is a crab, something like a spider crab or decorator crab, and we are seeing it from behind.

[panmitz]

scary!

[Eyon26th]

i was just thinkin about quitting my Job at McDonald... making 6.50 bucks an hour with my Mean Mexican Boss... I changed my mind!

[nmuratore]

Incredible!! What humans will do for a little variety on the menu! Nothing like going out to the ice field for some McMussels eh?! LOL

[OverWatchWilly]

@nmuratore

Is it possible that it is an essential source of protein in their diet? I don't think that they are just doing it for greater variety.

[darklink911]

@nmuratore Indeed. But what is more mind boggling is, who thought of doing this in the first place?

"Hm, the ice shifts every 3(made up number) hours. I wonder what's under there. Let's check it out... Ah, mussles. I wonder if they taste good?"

[Ktechno]

@nmuratore hahahahahaha

[VithusanR]

Wow thats amazing, its lije a totally new world down there.

[messidona1989]

how did the cameraman came out !?!? XD

[WalneyCol]

Why haven't the BBC enabled captions, I thought disability discrimination was against the law nowadays?

[Pilkingtube]

@WalneyCol Dude.

[scream4thehellofit]

Anyone who dislikes is a fat mussel hunter ;)

[eujeeves]

[reza043]

[321CrashandBurn]

[idaho]

@321CrashandBurn In a land like that, i wouldn't call it a Job: That's survival.

[MrNyeck]

[infrafan]

[Kflash3782]

That is just so unbelievable!!! I would love to explore for a couple of hours, before the water comes back.

[DahRecruit]
