I think I heard that they have started this channel in his teens, maybe even 13, even though that's quite a voice for 13! If true, that should excite your son! I think there's a video called _Into the Woods_ where you actually see him walking through the woods while he's talking about how things are going with his university studies or something similar. It's really excellent! And it's a bonus if that's where he talks about how young he started.

Not insignificant that most of your audience are in difficulties of mind/spirit and fiscal strictures. You pilot the craft that bears us to heights of most wonderful thoughtfulness of miraculous power of creation and a hope so pure it causes one to weep for joy. In our infirmity, in our reduced circumstances, in our contemplations of things lost, opportunities missed, even in dark places of our folly or misbegotten nonsense, we can see how all things, all conditions have a place and time essential to that which is BEING ITSELF. And therefore, whatever may seem to require "forgiveness" becomes irrelevant or finds reconciliation. All is; all becomes; appointed cycles fulfill and become yet again. Before thought; beyond language, we can gather close from- and at great distances apart; and if we can offer a little gift, we are glad of it, and if not, we are neither excluded nor contemned. Our contemplative, appreciative, life-gulping embrace of your offering to us is organically the same as what we see and hear and share together. And the moment at the bottom of the seas where life on earth began is fully eternal. Love to you, "Leo," and to each of all you have gathered together in this event. Thank you.

This is honestly a phenomenal documentary about something I knew absolutely nothing about going in. Our narrator is incredibly calming and fluid in their deliveries. It feels like they could be teaching this lecture while tucking you into bed with the most comforting and assuring tone. The musical background accompanying is gentle classical and it's nothing like stock classical at all. The music feels dreamlike and can transport you entirely on its own. The footage and images are phenomenal, some of the clearest nature footage I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning and gorgeous captures of the vents and animals thriving on them. For just an hour, I wasn't in my living room. I was in the abyss, I was learning, and I had zero thoughts to any stresses of the outside world.

It's something i aspire to induce in whatever audience that will listen. I am absolutely blown away, I never even imagined ecology/zoology of the deep sea. Before watching this series, I had seen some photos in old textbooks of things like the vampire squid, but the deep sea has been a footnote. You are bringing it to life, and I sooo appreciate it!

The amount of passion and love put into this absolutely breathtaking documentary, combined with the outpouring of well deserved gratitude and appreciation from viewers, has a made this entire video and comments section an absolute treasure. As others said, the music, clear and calming voice, stunning video footage , all of it culminates into a video with a quality that rivals BBC and National Geographic. You are doing great things, and I have no doubt you will go far in your career, helping humans further understand some of the most mysterious, remote, and diverse parts of the planet.

You are incredible, I’m just a high school student, hoping to one day become a paleontologist, but I’ve always had a fascination with the ocean, especially deep ocean, and content like this, even on professional channels, is hard to come by, and here you are with incredible full length videos with amazing information on it, incredible!

I knew there was something down at the deep, freezing, alien levels of our planet's oceans, but I never knew there was something quite so beautiful. It's awe inspiring to see such an intimate, specialized grouping of animal and bacterial existence, and one that acts as a major cog in the health of our wonderous home. To think that these small creatures play a major role in keeping our dear Earth from cooking itself, and that they in turn rely on dead whales and waterlogged trees as stepping stones from one site to another. Come the end of your documentary, I feel a sense of aching melancholy at the presence of it all, and also a sense of humility and humbleness that something so miniscule, through no conscious effort on their part, indirectly allows us humans to live in the comfort we currently do. Literally all life is connected through one way or another, and though we like to see ourselves as something "special" and "above the rest", we too are just another strand in the web. Thank you.

Thank you for making this fairly comprehensive and very well done video on chemosnthetic communities. I studied and published some 20 papers on shallow- water hydrocarbon seeps in the Santa Barbara Channel, California starting in about 1977. I immediately saw the connections to the mid-oceanic ridge chemosynthetic communities being discovered for the first time in the late 70s. We were eventually able to show using carbon and sulfur isotope ratios that petroleum was an energy, carbon and sulfur source for the soft-bottom communities in the area and was an additional source above the abundant photosynthetic sources for the high organism aboundance in areas of moderate seepage. We also saw mats of chemosynthetic bacteria surrounding the venting gases and oil droplets,

Your voice is very calming and the selection of music in this particular video is top-notched. Brilliant documentary. Keep on doing it! The proverbial torch of nature documentary will be carried forward by people like you, Leo. Also, immense thank you for disabling the mid-rolls. It truly helped with my immersion to the documentary.

Wow! Fascinating! Leo Richards you did a stellar job on the script and narration! I think I’ve heard your distinctive, calming voice on other channels and have been intrigued! I wish I could support you with a donation but I’m living on food assistance and less than $150 a month while waiting for disability benefits after over 35 years as an RN. Funny that I started out wanting to be a marine biologist. I grew up around Puget Sound in Washington State where there is a unique ecosystem with an abundance of sealife. Somehow I got rerouted into a career I never desired but found out I was quite good at. I grew to love it but I will always have a love for marine life.
