Among the deep sea tube worms, smoking hydrothermal vents, and salt-encrusted crabs, was an undisturbed, underwater... lake. Join us as we take a deep dive into the bizarre world of these deadly pools: their discovery, what we have learned, and what makes them some of the weirdest water bodies on Earth. ▀▀▀▀▀▀ 03:00 What Did They Discover? 05:43 Underwater… Lake? 10:09 Bubbling Up From Below 13:03 Underwater…Waterfalls? 14:56 Can Anything Survive Here? 18:51 Scavenging Sea Creatures 22:08 Beginnings of Life on Earth 25:20 Extraterrestrial Brine Pools ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Subscribe to the channel! https://youtube.com/@AstrumEarth Support our Patreon and you’ll get early access to Astrum Earth content, before anyone else: https://bit.ly/4aiJZNF ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Check out the other Astrum channels for videos about space and astronomy: Astrum: @astrumspace Astrum Extra: @astrumextra Astrum Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6jPRrbq3o3dpvBb173ZTKi?si=a90d3efe3b704c83 Astrum Infographic Artwork: https://electrify.art/collections/astrum Astrum Displate Posters: https://astrumspace.info/Displates Astrum Merch: https://astrum-shop.fourthwall.com/ Join us on the Astrum discord: https://discord.gg/TKw8Hpvtv8 ▀▀▀▀▀▀ References: “Anomalous Bottom Water in the Red Sea”, via nature.com https://bit.ly/hcharnock “Anoxic, Hypersaline Basin in the Northern Gulf of Mexico”, via science.org https://bit.ly/GoMbrinepool “Discovering a Brine Pool | Nautilus Live”, via youtube.com https://bit.ly/nautilusbrinepool “Double Diffusion”, via sciencedirect.com https://bit.ly/doublediffusion “Lakes Within Oceans”, via noaa.gov https://bit.ly/NOAAexplorer “Microbiology of the Red Sea (and other) deep-sea anoxic brine lakes”, via wiley.com https://bit.ly/brinepoolmicrobiology “Cold Seep Biodiversity”, via deepoceaneducation.org https://bit.ly/brinebiodiversity “Charles Darwin’s hunch about early life was probably right”, via bbc.co.uk https://bit.ly/Darwinearlylife “Brines and evaporites: analogs for Martian life”, via sciencedirect.com https://bit.ly/Martianbrines “Signs of life could survive on solar system moons Enceladus and Europa”, via space.com https://bit.ly/enceladuseuropa ▀▀▀▀▀▀ Credits Narrator: James Stewart Producers: Alex McColgan, James Stewart Writer: Will Bunker Video Editor: Celal Kaçar Animator: Peter Sheppard Researcher: Edie Abrahams Thumbnail Designer: Peter Sheppard Channel Manager: Georgina Brenner Creator: Alex McColgan ▀▀▀▀▀▀ #AstrumEarth #Oceans #BrinePools
