The Abyss | Deep Sea Documentary for Sleep (4K)

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

5:48Marine snow carries organic debris down to the seabed, supplying food to life far below sunlight.
15:10Sunken whales support successive communities of scavengers and organisms sustained by chemical energy.
22:12The flying spaghetti monster is a siphonophore colony made of specialised zooids.
29:16Skates and brooding octopuses use geothermal warmth around seeps to help incubate eggs.
36:03The telescope octopus has a translucent body and upward-pointing tubular eyes adapted to open water.

Leo Richards has a less glamorous name for the drifting debris that feeds the abyss: the ocean's dandruff. Marine snow sounds rather nicer, and in "The Abyss | Deep Sea Documentary for Sleep (4K)", it becomes the starting point for a whole world of seabed recyclers.

Natural World Facts posted nothing new this week, but its archive added about 310,000 views. The sleep-friendly film is its busiest upload right now, taking viewers from sea cucumbers and giant isopods to sunken timber, whale falls and hydrothermal vents. Richards writes, narrates and edits the documentary, using real underwater footage from NOAA and Schmidt Ocean Institute. It also contains a sponsored browser segment.

The gentle delivery doesn't mean the science disappears. A drifting siphonophore turns out to be a colony of specialised parts; geothermal warmth helps incubate eggs; the translucent telescope octopus looks upwards through tubular eyes. There is plenty here for anyone determined to stay awake.

"Into the Abyss: Creatures of the Midwater (Full Movie)" is also drawing substantial daily viewing. The more recent "The Coral Triangle | A World Beneath the Surface (4K)" brings a tropical alternative, with Edi Frommenwiler's footage of Raja Ampat, camouflage specialists and reef life.

Subscribers held steady, while today's viewing is below the channel's usual daily level. Among nearby documentary channels, VICE Sports and The Atlantic are having much busier-than-usual days. For Natural World Facts, the week's activity remains underwater, with the older deep-sea films doing most of the work.
