00:00Today, we are at the beginning of a historic discovery.
00:03We are going to spend 8 days in total darkness to explore the exact depth of Krubera Cave,
00:08which scientists consider to be the deepest cave in the world.
00:11We are even hoping to discover new animal species that have been isolated in this subterranean
00:15world for millions of years.
00:17During this expedition, we are going to cover a distance of almost 5 kilometers and every
00:22one of us will lose 10 kilograms on average.
00:24Curiosity brought me here but it is too risky.
00:27Let's descend to the deepest point of the world's deepest cave.
00:29The explored part of Krubera is 2,199 meters deep, but its true depth is still a mystery.
00:35The last update to its map was over a decade ago.
00:38Now I am going to secure myself, I am going to put this Jumar here to be secured again.
00:47I am going to tie this new station's rope to my stop-descender to descend further.
00:54I am good to go.
00:55I am good to go.
00:56I will take this securing point off the Jumar and take it off.
01:02Time to descend.
01:04At the cave's deepest accessible point, there lies a dangerous siphon never passed until now.
01:11Yet our goal with the Russian Speleologist team is to push further.
01:14I even signed a contract accepting that this expedition could literally cost me my life.
01:18For over 20 years, Crimean Federal University lecturer Gennady Samokin has worked on this cave.
01:23The hardest part is always the entrance part.
01:25I have been training for over a year to join this expedition and document it.
01:29During these shoots, I will come face-to-face with life-threatening situations on four separate occasions.
01:34Time to connect to this station.
01:35I am going to secure myself first.
01:36Now I am connected to two securing points.
01:37Any mistake can be fatal.
01:38That's why we use three securing points.
01:39Deep, slippery wells, tight squeezes, siphons where there is no air, and freezing temperatures.
01:55That's what we are about to face.
01:57It's time to take this off and then this off.
02:01Now we are going to descend.
02:06Hello, Krubera.
02:11Pitch darkness.
02:12Free!
02:13These hooks and ropes you see are from previous expeditions.
02:17For more than 60 years, speleologists from around the world have come to Krubera with no one yet measuring the exact depth of the cave.
02:24There is a real danger of rock falls and sudden floods.
02:27Be careful with the rocks here.
02:29Even the most experts have lost their lives here for these reasons.
02:38With the help of Nvidia Studio and GeForce RTX GPUs, we've brought the first ever detailed 3D map of Krubera Cave to life.
02:45More on them later, but on this map you can see five main camps at different depths of the cave where we'll sleep.
02:50The camps are set up in a way that they are only 8 hour moving distance far from each other.
02:56We move 8 hours a day, then rest.
02:59Just because we're descending one after the other doesn't mean it's only us.
03:04We're actually a team of 2 groups, 11 people in total.
03:07And right at the beginning I started to tangle myself.
03:13Because of confusion, I forgot to put my stop descender on and carelessly unlock my most vital securing point.
03:19Now I'm relying on the Jumar, the weakest securing point.
03:26It works fine as long as I stay upright, but if I squat a bit too much, it fails.
03:31I forgot one thing.
03:37I need to adapt quickly if I want to make it out alive.
03:41I'm going to put my securing point because I forgot to put this under.
03:49When you're on the rope, it's just you and the rope.
03:52You're all alone.
03:53Nobody can see the mistakes you could make and really help you.
04:01This pedal got away from me.
04:08I need to put it back on.
04:12If I fall from here, I don't think I'm going to be a liar.
04:16The average speed of moving through the cave is 100 meters per hour.
04:19Our ascending speed and descending speed are the same.
04:22We also carry our bags with us in the cave.
04:26The temperature is only 3 degrees Celsius.
04:28So being here is not different from being inside of a giant fridge.
04:33Hey man.
04:34Hey, how are you?
04:35Nice.
04:36You feel cold already?
04:38Not yet.
04:42You okay?
04:44This is where a sheep met its tragic end.
04:46Falling from the lush valley above down hundreds of meters into the darkness below.
04:51The sheep is under the soil.
04:53They covered it because they wanted to prevent this mess.
04:56Now we are about to get through a tight squeeze.
04:58As its name suggests, you have to make yourself as small as possible and crawl inside.
05:03Let it crawl.
05:05We'll go after it.
05:15Oh my god.
05:16How do I do this?
05:17I have to go sideways like this.
05:18I have to go sideways like this.
05:20Krubera Cave is in the Arabica Massif of South Caucasus, 15 kilometers away from Black Sea.
05:29Arabica is one of the largest and highest limestone formations in the mountain, providing an ideal
05:34environment for the development of such an immense cave.
05:37The cave was formed and carved by underground streams and rain, creating both massive steep wells as well as narrow long tunnels.
05:50Make myself smaller.
05:56Scientists believe Krubera is 5 million years old and it continues to be shaped even today.
06:00These squeezes are very hard.
06:11They say, don't feel claustrophobia until you get stuck.
06:17Just because you are a nature person, don't come here to a place like this.
06:28Especially to Krubera Cave, where birds welcomes you with these narrow meanders.
06:36Do you see the marks on the side wall?
06:38At this point in the cave, the passage was so narrow that they had to use tools to break the rocks and widen it.
06:44When we pass through narrow passages, small particles fill the air and make it hard to breathe as they get into our mouths.
06:51Also, our legs get cramped quickly from working the same muscle group.
07:05It's better if you go slow.
07:07Oh, alright.
07:09Here you get to the wire.
07:10This wire goes for 2,000 meters.
07:13Yes.
07:14And allows the cone to work.
07:15Unfortunately, it's not broken somewhere.
07:19It was likely damaged by a recent flood.
07:21We're completely cut off from the outside world for the next eight days.
07:29We have two possible ways here.
07:31Yes.
07:32There is an arrow on the wall that shows the correct way.
07:36It's the way to go.
07:45Oh my God.
07:47I'll take the message.
07:48Very narrow.
08:01Very narrow.
08:02Oh
08:22Falling through these rocks could injure us
08:32I don't want to be here
08:34I want to go to like so
08:36I was almost gonna fall
08:38This thing saved me
08:40It's so wet, it's slippery
08:46It's like it's zipline
08:48I just assumed that it's not dangerous
08:50Alright
08:56The deep wall starts
08:58How you feel, Odek?
09:00It has been a long way
09:02We're about to arrive at the first camp
09:04If you see
09:06This is the big well
09:08105 meters
09:20It feels like it's three times bigger
09:22Thinking about ascending two kilometers back to the surface
09:24makes me feel overwhelmed already
09:26The rope fibers got stuck in the stop-descender mechanism
09:28If I couldn't get them out
09:30I would have to leave the stop-descender here
09:32And I wouldn't be able to go down any further
09:34I would have to quit and climb back up
09:36This panic caused me to tangle my rope
09:38and my bag's rope
09:40Free
09:42We did about 70% of this well
09:46Which is like how many meters?
09:4880 meters I guess
09:50This place is really scary now
09:52My headlamp does not even lighten up beyond my shoes
09:54All I can see is endless pitch darkness
09:56Which makes me a bit uneasy
09:58At least it helps me stay focused on what's right in front of me
10:02It's all about having a little weight
10:04Yeah, I can do this
10:06It's all about having a little weight
10:08Yeah, I can do this
10:10It shocks the rope
10:12Intense shock loads on the ropes from sudden falls like these
10:14Can break the rope because of the high tension
10:16It can also seriously damage my spine
10:18It can also seriously damage my spine
10:20I can't even lighten up beyond my shoes
10:22It can't even lighten up beyond my shoes
10:24All I can see is endless pitch darkness
10:26Which makes me a bit uneasy
10:28At least it helps me stay focused on what's right in front of me
10:30Yeah
10:32It shocks the rope
10:36Intense shock loads on the ropes from sudden falls like these
10:40Can break the rope because of the high tension
10:42It can also seriously damage my spine
10:48It doesn't go very smooth
10:54Woo
10:56So welcome to the book
10:58Welcome
10:59All right, while we were descending into a huge well and filming everything the first group created a gap between us
11:07Wait, I don't know what's in here
11:14But I don't fit here too large
11:17Look at all the rocks. I think they drop from the ceiling if you camp here one of these rocks can fall on us
11:31There is a sign here. Yes, it says don't put your mess in here
11:36Take your mess to the surface. The mess means well before there were flashlights people used
11:43Carbid lamps waste from all the era lamps
11:48Being the center of interest of speleologists
11:51Kruvera has intrigued some daring scientists since the early 20th century after just 10 hours in the cave our eyes are bloodshot
11:58And our faces are covered with mud
12:00My clothes cling to me soaked with sweat. We managed to descend another 150 meters more and finally made it to our first camp
12:08We're currently at minus 350 meters from the surface after a solid 12-hour
12:13Descent while some of the experienced cavers in the team went straight to camp minus 700
12:19Hurry up, crawl
12:27Where could I put this hang it over there got it like drawing them off in the Sun, huh?
12:34Yeah
12:35Gennady is very optimistic about the possibility of discovering a new animal species at the bottom of the cave
12:41I can't stop wondering what we will discover
12:45My boots on fire. Is that your boot?
12:49Take this one
12:50We should put the kettle on
12:52Let's warm up the tent first
12:54Then dry our socks
12:56Now everyone is busy drying out their damp clothes and repairing their gear
13:01We're gonna eat some snacks
13:04It's really cold especially when we sit down we can feel more cold from the ground
13:10Change our clothes and we will drink this soup
13:12Eat some pasta
13:13Then sleep hopefully not get frozen
13:16The most important things are food and fuel for heating of course
13:23Speleologists spend the maximum amount of calories up to 8,000 kilocalories a day
13:29It's impossible to fulfill the calories that's why I say nutrition is very important
13:34Everything I wore has gotten wet and I need it dry by the morning
13:37We have sleeping bags that keep us warm down to minus 10 degrees Celsius
13:42Morning everybody
13:43I just woke up and I'm freezing
13:45I completely lost my sense of time
13:47After a sunless morning in Krubera we shake off our weariness
13:55He's sipping the fresh water that the cave offers
14:04Everybody gears up for the descent
14:07How are you feeling?
14:08Better than yesterday
14:09I'm feeling a little more combative
14:11I'm gonna put on my thermal underwear
14:14Then wear this costume
14:16Wear my boots
14:17My waterproof gloves
14:19My helmet
14:20This is my harness
14:22Hey everybody
14:24You look like terminators
14:26You look like terminators
14:28Horizontal tunnel
14:30Then another big well
14:32115 meters one
14:34Another tunnel
14:35From there
14:36Some ropes down and up
14:38And horizontal like tunnels again
14:40And then?
14:41After that the last well is 30 meters
14:44Then we like go a little bit more and find the camp
14:47I also asked him if we could catch up with the first group
14:50It will take like about two and a half hours to get maybe like less
14:55But I don't know when they will move out
14:58Right
14:59They think we are slow and they want to wait as much as possible
15:03If you wanna pee
15:04You have to take all this gear off
15:07Which will take any person about 30 minutes
15:10If you are in a hurry you might pee on yourself
15:13Sometimes it's a better idea to do so
15:16Free?
15:17Free!
15:18Let that go
15:19Let that go
15:20Which puts me down
15:21It's not like earth
15:23It's like an alien planet
15:24No life here
15:25Bye bye
15:26Bye
15:27Bye
15:28Ruby
15:29Go ahead
15:30Good luck
15:31How are you sir?
15:32Look at this person
15:33Wonderful
15:34We're completely cut off from the outside world
15:36And on our own down here
15:37The camp on the surface has no way of knowing directly
15:40If anything goes wrong
15:41So we have to be extra careful
15:43Look there's water here
15:44They gather the water from here to the camp
15:47We've been descending for about 6 hours today
15:50We're all pretty wiped
15:52So the rope is wet
15:56From now on all ropes are wet
15:58And the descender's mechanism doesn't slide easily on wet ropes
16:01Causing risky shock loads each time
16:03Breathe
16:08Yeah there's tunnel huh
16:11He is shaking from the cold
16:13I asked for another break
16:15You have to rest but you cannot rest long enough to start freezing
16:21Sometimes you kind of sit
16:23You turn your light off
16:25You close your eyes and try to rest
16:27And falling asleep
16:28And this is the worst
16:29You can easily die if you fall asleep
16:32So no matter how hard it is
16:34How difficult it is
16:35You just have to push yourself
16:37So we've decided to rest at camp minus 700
16:40Before pushing to camp minus 1400
16:43Here is our home for tonight
16:45It looks like everyone has gone ahead already
16:47Our guide is going to prepare some lunch, dinner, whatever it is
16:50I don't know what time it is
16:52My brain is so tired
16:53More tired than my muscles
16:55We're close to camp minus 1400
16:58Before entering the minus 1400 camp
17:03Speleologists created a makeshift water tap using an empty bottle
17:07The group ahead has also reached their new campsite at minus 1400
17:12Why are you pointing at the tent?
17:16It's going to fly off your hand
17:18Hello dear friends
17:26Hello, dear friends. We hope everybody is alive and well. We hope you haven't lost your team spirit. We believe that you will succeed, and you will be able to find something, something beautiful for this underground world. We look forward to seeing you soon. With our love, your friends.
17:51Water. There's nothing like a cold cave shower under a waterfall to wash off the mud, sweat, and exhaustion after days of exploring. Water's not that cold. You feel warmer if you get used to it. Alright. After a rough sleep, some are stretching their tired muscles. Others are putting on their gear. Everyone is getting ready to dive further into the depths of Krubera. His knee pads are torn. He will stitch up new ones.
18:21Everybody, let's keep going. This is the right way.
18:51When moving in the dark, the light from headlamps can sometimes block the other's view.
18:57But bend your goddamn headlight down. I can't see anything.
19:07That's enough. I hate this camera.
19:09While I was waiting to descend, my headlamp battery ran out.
19:15My battery's finished. There's no light.
19:19Luckily, I had spare batteries in my pocket.
19:22At the very bottom of the cave, we did a topographic survey, and we recorded everything with the camera.
19:28As we go deeper into Krubera, I wonder how the animals have evolved here in the darkness.
19:33So far, I haven't crossed with any creature.
19:35But it makes me think, where there's water, there's a chance for life to exist.
19:39Cave is so wet now.
19:40How should you do it?
19:41In the cave, your biological clock is always off.
19:46Without clock, it automatically switches to 40 hours' day.
19:5140 hours' day time.
19:53Yes, so they're awake for 20-something and sleeping for 16-something.
20:00We've reached the halfway point of Krubera Cave, but we still need to descend another 200 meters to get to the next camp.
20:07The cold, tiredness, and being always under artificial light are starting to affect my performance, and leading me to make fatal mistakes.
20:14At this point, when I was 50 meters above the rocky ground, I accidentally unlocked my last securing point and realized I had to hang solely by the strength of my muscles.
20:23Oh, I forgot putting my descender on.
20:31Every second, my muscles are getting tired.
20:33If I fail to lock my carabiner and fall, I will certainly lose my life.
20:38The way I attach the carabiner is extremely risky, and it could open at any time.
20:44I also got my glove jam.
20:46All right.
20:47It's not looking good.
20:53It's not looking good.
20:55It requires full dedication.
21:01One small mistake can kill you.
21:05Now I'm good to go.
21:08Gotcha.
21:17This is a rope I want to be on.
21:23Just a couple of minutes later, I almost unlocked my last securing point for the second time.
21:28I opened the carabiner.
21:30Fortunately, I realized my mistake.
21:33That's not good.
21:34Another mistake.
21:35I need to put my sander first.
21:37My eyes feel heavy in constant darkness, and my brain feels like it's collapsing under the weight of fatigue.
21:44Hey guys, it's really tough.
21:46It's not easy as it looks.
21:47There are underwater currents that block the way.
21:52Siphons are basically passages that are flooded with underground rivers.
21:56Well, everybody, let's go and take a dip.
22:01There are dozens of them along our path, and a single wrong move could leave us trapped, out of breath, and facing the terrifying risk of drowning.
22:10To help you better understand the challenging conditions in Krubera, we created 3D models of siphon explorations and the map.
22:16Blender, as with most 3D softwares, is powered by NVIDIA Studio and GeForce RTX, so we work directly in full detail within the viewport, seeing results instantly without waiting for long renders.
22:28On the map, you can see where the siphons begin and end.
22:31These water-filled, deep passages are scattered throughout the cave, and we're now starting with a moderately big one.
22:37Creating these animations took us 2 weeks, but the advanced technology we used significantly sped up our workflow and helped us to save hours.
22:45This caver, as you can see, has attached rocks to himself to prevent floating upwards and striking his body on the ceiling.
22:54He could also be swept away by the water flow and get lost in one of the upward leading passages and lose his life.
22:59Some of the siphons, like this one, have no air pockets, which means these passages are completely filled with water.
23:05Passing through them can take several minutes depending on their length and difficulty.
23:09If you can't follow the rope in the siphons and miss it, you can enter the wrong tunnel and you can drown.
23:14If your clothes get caught on a sharp stone and you can't get it out in a panic, you can drown.
23:18Even if you do everything right, you can still drown if you can't hold your breath long enough.
23:23We made it back to the camp at minus 700 after a 6 hour exhausting climb.
23:33I was starting to lose focus from the cold and exhaustion, so the speleologist didn't think it was safe for me to keep going.
23:41and asked me to wait for them back at camp. Thankfully, there's enough water and snacks here to keep us going for the coming days.
23:59Oh, these are the mats, huh? Bingo!
24:04The sudden and powerful flooding at camp minus 1640 lifted the leftover mats off the ground, leaving them stuck high above.
24:12It looks like this place was totally submerged.
24:16We didn't know it at the time, but while we were in the cave with no connection with the surface camp, it started raining, which means a real risk of flooding.
24:23The footage you're seeing now is from a few years ago.
24:26As you can see, people barely made out. Similar floods could destroy our camps and the passages.
24:31Everybody got so wet.
24:33Look how we dry ourselves off.
24:38It's a good idea.
24:40After a wet and chilly night in the cave, the speleologists are preparing their gear for the biggest
24:45days ahead. They will measure the exact depth of the cave and might even discover new animal species unknown to mankind.
24:52Minus 1640.
24:55Let's get started.
24:58The sharp icicle-like structures hanging from the roof are called stalactites.
25:02These formations grow incredibly slowly, typically less than 10 centimeters in a thousand years.
25:07They form when water drips down and calcium carbonate deposits build up over time.
25:12Is there any space for me there?
25:15Yeah.
25:16The team is extra careful to avoid damaging them.
25:19This looks so dangerous.
25:25They also became both physically and mentally exhausted.
25:31It is too low. It needs to be higher. We will hang out more laundry.
25:40Finally, they made it to camp minus 1960, which is the last and the most uncomfortable camp due to its limited space.
25:47Is it okay if I pee on you?
25:50The team was unable to even stand up properly the entire time they were in this small gallery.
25:56The camp is minus 1,960 meters down. It's one of the deepest camps in the world. Some of us are soaked entirely and we all have bruised eyes. Some went down to minus 2,080 already.
26:07The camp, of course, is not very comfortable here. The flood constantly washes away all the mats.
26:14As for the two-captains siphon, it starts about 200 meters down from here.
26:18After days of relentless effort, the team has finally reached the deepest point in Krubera that humankind has ever explored.
26:25Gennady and his teammate are now working to precisely map Krubera's depths.
26:29Measuring the deep underground is much more challenging than measuring the surface as GPS signals are useless.
26:35A laser rangefinder is used which is capable of calculating indirect heights and distances between two points.
26:41He is proceeding to the outermost edge for the exact calculation.
26:48The device has a special compass board and is used with a plastic battery instead of a regular one to reduce magnetic errors.
26:56Not on our left, not on our right. Where'd it go?
27:07There is no other way.
27:08What?
27:09There is no other way.
27:10I understand.
27:12He has to get wet for this calculation.
27:19Okay.
27:20Once they exit the cave, they will make the total calculation and issue an official statement regarding the cave's actual height.
27:29They are near the two-captains siphon, the deepest siphon in the world.
27:32This is the endpoint.
27:33They are preparing the gas tanks to dive into the deepest point of the cave,
27:37equipped with a precision measurement device to record the cave's death.
27:40Gennady also carries numerous bait traps.
27:43He hopes to discover a new animal species yet unknown to mankind.
27:47We have to be careful here.
27:50Let's see the results.
27:52Let's see if anything lives down there.
27:54Now the team is getting inside the siphon's deep, cold and murky waters.
28:06They have already marked some parts of the two-captains siphon during their previous expeditions,
28:10but they have had difficulty discovering it entirely.
28:13There are sections that have remained a mystery, but now their secrets are about to be unveiled.
28:27He tied a few bait trap bottles to the rope so as not to lose them.
28:32On their way back, they didn't notice it, but the camera captured it.
28:35A small, completely transparent animal was lurking in the water.
28:42Then another animal showed up, but that also went unnoticed.
28:49What is this?
28:51These animals are blind due to the absence of light.
28:54Fortunately, the team managed to capture an exceptionally unique animal in the trap.
28:58They also encountered another highly distinct looking animal purely by chance.
29:03The footage you are seeing has never been captured before.
29:07There it is.
29:09There is the fish.
29:10Let's not lose it.
29:12Wow, what is this?
29:14Let's get this one right away.
29:17If these animals are unique to this cave and have never been spotted before,
29:21these findings will be added to the precious library of human knowledge.
29:25A significant step for mankind.
29:27We have documented them on video.
29:29Most of these creatures are transparent as they have evolved in total darkness.
29:34But the other creature they pulled from the trap is not a new discovery.
29:38It was identified in 2013 and it only lives in Krubera Cave.
29:42Its name is Gameras Kruberian.
29:43Amazing news.
29:44I'm just in shock.
29:45I'm realizing that we live in a beautiful world.
29:52Depth measurements of the two captains' siphon and consequently the cave have also been collected.
29:58Could this discovery confirm Krubera as the Earth's deepest known cave and lead to its inclusion in geography textbooks?
30:04Now it's time to ascend to uncover the truth about Krubera Cave.
30:07Oh my god.
30:10How long do you think we will wait them?
30:14I think like one hour maximum.
30:17We had already put our caving suits back on at the time they had predicted they would arrive and patiently waited for them.
30:23They're coming.
30:24Yeah, they're coming.
30:26Woo!
30:28I hear them.
30:30They're coming.
30:32Yeah, they're coming.
30:34Woo!
30:35We're getting ready to ascend back up 700 meters in 24 hours.
30:43The ascent is both the hardest part of a caving journey and the stage where most life losses occur.
30:49This phase demands not only significant physical effort but also sustained focus and precise execution.
30:59I hit my head here.
31:01Insects started to appear.
31:02We are really near to surface.
31:06We took our final break for snacks to regain some energy.
31:09We have a little way to go.
31:12During an eight day caving expedition, the relentless effort of ascending, descending and enduring a constant three degree cold burns an immense amount of calories.
31:19Most of us lost around 10 kilograms over the course of this journey.
31:26It's a significant sacrifice we make in the pursuit of new discoveries.
31:30I think this is probably the longest time I've ever been in the cave.
31:35Once everyone exits the cave, Gennady Smokin, the leader of the expedition, will evaluate the success of the eight day mission.
31:41He has a very important announcement to share with the world.
31:45The daylight, the breeze, the fresh air, the rain and the scent of plants restore my sense of humanity.
31:52Finally I see the daylight.
31:54I feel profound gratitude for being alive.
32:00Is that water?
32:02Now, we are about to discover the most important aspect of this documentary.
32:06Can you officially confirm that Krubera is now the deepest cave in the world?
32:14We deliberately didn't publish the depth data of Krubera cave until this interview.
32:18This is a very important moment.
32:20We wanted the collaborative work we've done with you to culminate in a clear declaration that Krubera cave is, as of today, the deepest cave in the world.
32:28The computer calculated the margin of error for us, which was around 0.1%.
32:35Today, we can confidently state that with our methodology, the depth of Krubera cave is 2,224 meters, including the siphon and the upper entrance, which is 3 meters higher than the Arabica Massif.
32:49This means the margin of error is approximately 10 meters.
32:52This year, we also collected samples of crustaceans and sent them for analysis.
32:58You also discovered some creatures during the exploration.
33:01Could you share more information about them?
33:04Have you completed their taxonomic classification or is the research still ongoing?
33:10We discovered some really interesting findings this time.
33:13What is really important is that these data that we have collected are unique.
33:17This is because almost no one has ever worked at such depths.
33:23But their exact species identification is not yet determined.
33:28You might remember that at the end of one of our previous videos, I asked for your support for the Krubera project.
33:35Thanks to your donations, the exploration of Krubera cave became possible, allowing us to film these discoveries and share them with the world.
33:43More than 188 people took part in the making of this project.
33:46Unlike other so-called documentaries on the internet, which often explain already known facts, we documented something entirely new.
33:54This project stands as a true documentary in every sense.
33:57In the future, we are planning to visit Tristan da Gunha, the most remote settlement in the world.
34:03To get there, we will travel 7 days on a cargo ship from South Africa, spend 2 weeks on the island and return back in 7 days.
34:09The nearest settlement there is Saint Helena, which is approximately 2,430 kilometers to the north.
34:17But everything related to this project is costly.
34:20Only your supporting support could make this rare documentary come to life.
34:23I also want to thank Nvidia for supporting us creating these animations and maps of the Krubera cave.
34:29With the power of GeForce RTX GPUs, we were able to efficiently handle over 30 hours of RAW footage with unmatched efficiency and share this Krubera documentary with you.
34:38AI-powered video editing with Nvidia's GPUs saves us a lot of time on big projects like this by handling repetitive and time-consuming tasks for us.
34:48As a production team using Blender for 3D modeling and Adobe Premiere for video editing, RTX GPUs speed up tasks like denoising renders and make 3D rendering incredibly smooth.
34:58Meanwhile, the ray tracing cords delivered photorealistic lighting and shadows, bringing our 3D scenes to life.
35:05On the video editing side, RTX GPUs enabled us to improve audio clarity with AI-driven noise reduction, achieve precise color matching for a consistent look and dramatically reduce rendering times.
35:16GeForce RTX GPUs accelerate over 100 of the world's most popular creative applications, including Adobe Creative Cloud, Blender, Autodesk Maya, Unity, Unreal Engine and OBS.
35:28Empowering creators to move from concept to completion faster than ever before.
35:32Thanks to Nvidia for supporting this documentary.
35:35Thanks to you for supporting the channel.
35:37Ruhi Chenet was here.
