00:00It's 2010. You're in the Japanese waters of the Pacific Ocean, about 745 miles south of Tokyo, and very close
00:09to the island of Iwo Jima.
00:11The sky is clear. There are almost no waves. A heavy, low rumble comes from somewhere deep under the sea.
00:18It scares away all the flying gulls. And then, it gets quiet. Too quiet.
00:24It seems that even light waves don't dare to make a sound.
00:28Suddenly, a small bubble rises to the surface of the water.
00:32Then, thousands of air bubbles start moving up, one after another.
00:36The water begins to boil and heat up. Its temperature is so high that you can cook eggs or pasta
00:43in here.
00:44The boiling area grows to the size of a stadium. A huge amount of steam is released into the air.
00:50You can see an outline of some huge object through the boiling water.
00:53Then, everything stops. The water cools, the amount of bubbles goes down, and the surface of the ocean becomes calm
01:01again.
01:02That year, an underwater volcano erupted at that specific location.
01:07Fortunately, it didn't bring any serious consequences.
01:10In August 2021, the eruption repeated.
01:14But this time, everything wasn't limited to the bubbling water.
01:17The Japanese Coast Guard reported strong volcanic activity in the region.
01:22Hot steam and gases came out of the water and rose into the air to a height of 10 miles,
01:28which is about twice the height of Mount Everest.
01:30The huge, awakened volcano began to slowly lift to the surface.
01:35If you took a helicopter ride above this place, you'd see more and more land coming out of the water.
01:41This is not just a volcano. It's a whole island in the shape of a horseshoe.
01:46And this is just the beginning.
01:48Seismologists say this island is the tip of a huge volcano.
01:52It fills the sky with smoke and ash.
01:55The air temperature is rising.
01:57Scientists continue to monitor the situation.
02:00They believe the volcano can completely get out of the water.
02:04Nobody knows what consequences this may have.
02:07This isn't the first island that has appeared in the waters of Japan.
02:11Underwater volcanoes have erupted several times over the past century.
02:14One of the most surprising cases occurred in 2013.
02:18That year, a small piece of land was formed next to the already existing island.
02:23The underwater volcano that emerged from the water began to grow slowly.
02:28At some moment, it connected to the island.
02:31After two years, the area of this island increased by 12 times compared to the original size.
02:38Smoke is always pouring out of this place, and its surface is filled with red-hot lava flows.
02:43The volcano is unstable and isn't going to calm down.
02:47Such phenomena occur not only off the coast of Japan.
02:50In the 1960s, a volcano awoke on the southern coast of Iceland.
02:55For three whole years, it was coming to the surface and had formed an island by 1967.
03:01They called it Surtsey.
03:03Unlike the Japanese islands, this is where the volcanic eruptions ended.
03:08Now the island is one of the most inaccessible places on the planet.
03:12Only a few scientists in the world have permission to walk around this place.
03:16They want to learn how the plant and animal life of the island are formed without human intervention.
03:21This is a unique event, and here's why.
03:24Underwater volcanoes differ in their behavior from land volcanoes.
03:28They don't explode and don't release lava flows upwards.
03:31A huge amount of water above them creates high pressure.
03:35As soon as the magma gets out, the water immediately lowers it to the seafloor.
03:40Underwater eruptions don't normally cause any changes on the ocean surface.
03:44So, millions of gallons of lava sink to the bottom, cool down, and solidify around the volcano.
03:51This lava forms a thick layer of Earth's rock.
03:54To make an island appear on the surface, an underwater volcano needs a lot of magma.
03:59The next eruption creates another thick layer.
04:02Millions of years pass, and passive lava flows form mountains.
04:07Constant eruptions increase the height of the seabed.
04:10Layer by layer, the cooled lava rises higher and higher.
04:14And then, one day, it appears on the surface in the form of an island.
04:19Often, underwater volcanoes don't reach the surface and fall asleep forever.
04:24However, such volcanoes are called seamounts.
04:28The tectonic activity also affects the formation of islands.
04:32The volcano has a source of magma that comes from the mantle of the planet.
04:36The tectonic plate is moving, and a volcano is placed on it.
04:40So, the plate can lead the volcano away from the source of magma.
04:44When a volcano rises, it can simply move aside and no longer erupt.
04:49From the outside, the volcanic islands look like an apocalypse.
05:03Lava is any hot metal, but the natural lava flowing out of volcanoes is called magma.
05:09When it appears on the surface of the ground, various gases and acids instantly evaporate from it,
05:15and magma becomes lava.
05:17But underground, it's magma.
05:20These molten metals contain trace elements of almost all chemical substances that exist in nature.
05:26They enrich the land they're flowing in.
05:29Ash is also filled with many different elements.
05:32The lava hardens, the ash settles, and this creates favorable conditions for the appearance of a rich ecosystem.
05:38It can take millions of years to develop, though.
05:41The simplest bacteria appear.
05:44They feed on chemical elements coming from the volcano.
05:48When you have favorable conditions for bacteria, you get favorable conditions for bigger life forms.
05:54Birds flying by also help to develop the new ecosystem.
05:57They build nests on the island, bring tree seeds and plant spores from the continents and other islands.
06:03All this enriches life on the volcano.
06:06Volcanoes are isolated places, so unique species of animals, insects, and bacteria can appear only there and can't be found
06:14anywhere else on the planet.
06:16However, if the volcano wakes up, it can also destroy the ecosystem.
06:21The entire island can be covered with ash and simply lose all vegetation.
06:25But then, on the scorched ground, life can appear again.
06:30Hundreds of islands around the world appeared because of the eruptions of underwater volcanoes.
06:35Hawaii, Indonesia, and Iceland have them on their territory.
06:40Imagine that people settled on a similar volcanic island and built a city there.
06:44And one day, the volcano woke up.
06:47It once happened, 200 miles south of Tokyo.
06:51People built a beautiful town right in the center of an active volcano on the island of Aogashima.
06:57In May 1785, the catastrophe began.
07:01That day was sunny, and no one could imagine what tragedy was approaching them.
07:06At some point, thousands of birds took to the air and flew away from the island.
07:10Then, the ground began to shake.
07:13A heavy, low sound came out of the town depths.
07:16Streams of smoke were coming out of the crater of a green volcano.
07:20The volcano was throwing dirt, large stones, and various debris into the sky.
07:25The disaster lasted for several weeks.
07:28Since then, more than 200 years have passed, and the volcano has never woken up again.
07:33The town was rebuilt after the disaster.
07:36Now, this place is so great, people don't want to leave, despite the risk of a new eruption.
07:41More and more residents are coming to the island.
07:44There are many thermal springs, and the waters around the island are rich in fish.
07:49But the volcano may wake up at any moment.
07:52Fortunately, meteorological and seismological services monitor the situation.
07:58A lake can also form inside the volcano, but you shouldn't swim in it.
08:03In Indonesia, on the island of Java, there's a volcano with a crater inside.
08:07It's filled with turquoise water.
08:09The magma inside the volcano consists of many molten metals and chemical compounds,
08:15and the lake gets these substances.
08:17The volcano emits sulfur dioxide gases that combine with the metallic lake.
08:22This gives the water its strong acidity and turquoise color.
08:26The steam coming from the lake is acid.
08:29When it combines with air, it ignites.
08:32This is visible at night.
08:34Sulfur accumulations flare up and illuminate everything around.
08:39The Easter Island giant heads are so popular that they even have their own emoji.
08:47Their true meaning has been a mystery for hundreds of years.
08:51But it looks like we at least know how they were built and transported to their permanent location.
08:58The moai statues consist of three parts.
09:02A large yellow body,
09:04a red hat or topknot,
09:06and white inset eyes with a coral iris.
09:11Around 1,000 of them were created.
09:14The main bodies of most of the statues were made out of volcanic tuff
09:19from a local quarry in what used to be a volcano.
09:22The material is easy to carve, but not so easy to transport.
09:27That's probably why researchers found over 300 unfinished moai back in the quarry.
09:34The rest of them stand in various locations,
09:37facing the villages as if watching over the locals.
09:42So, it looks like the statues were carved lying on their backs.
09:46Then, their creators detached them from the rock,
09:49moved them down slope,
09:51and set them in a vertical position to finish the work.
09:55Once it was done,
09:56it was time to get the statue to its platform.
09:59Now, if you've ever moved houses,
10:01you know how physically hard it is.
10:04So, imagine having to move a statue that is about half as heavy as a house,
10:10without a car or any modern equipment for a distance of 3 miles.
10:15The locals must have invented some original way of doing it,
10:19and scientists tried to recreate it to guess what it was.
10:23They tried pulling moai replicas on wooden sleds.
10:27They thought someone could have used palm trees for that purpose,
10:30but this theory has been debunked.
10:32The most successful experiment so far
10:35was wielding ropes to rock the statue down the road in a standing position.
10:40This method sounds real,
10:42because the local Rapa Noai legends
10:44mentioned that the moai walked from the quarry.
10:48And, of course, they needed a good road to get there.
10:52In the early 20th century,
10:54researcher Catherine Rutledge
10:56identified an 800-year-old road network on the island.
11:01It was a bunch of pathways around 15 feet wide going from the quarry.
11:07She thought that those roads were ceremonial and not built just for the statues.
11:11She wasn't a famous scientist back then,
11:14so others mostly ignored the theory.
11:17Several decades later,
11:19famous Norwegian adventurer and archaeologist Thor Heredal published his theory.
11:24He mentioned that the roads were built exclusively to transport the moai,
11:29and some of the statues were dropped along the roads for some reason.
11:33But, in 2010,
11:35researchers found that the statues weren't randomly dropped.
11:39They actually reached their final destinations,
11:42as they were all set on hidden platforms.
11:45Plus, the road floor was U-shaped,
11:49so pulling massive statues along them wouldn't be easy.
11:53You can still find roughly 15.5 miles of these roads on the island
11:58and see them from satellite images.
12:02And, it looks like Catherine Rutledge was right about them.
12:06The roads were probably built for pilgrims to a sacred volcano,
12:10and the moai standing by them were sort of signposts.
12:15Halfway across the world, in southern England,
12:18lies another mystery made of stone.
12:21A massive sound illusion,
12:23a symbol of unity,
12:24a burial ground,
12:25or more.
12:27Scientists are still debating the purpose of Stonehenge.
12:30It took Neolithic builders around 1,500 years
12:34to construct this beauty,
12:35made of roughly 100 stones,
12:38standing upright in a circle.
12:41Millions of tourists come to see it every year,
12:44and heritage protectors were worried
12:46about the modern road
12:47snaking close to the landmark.
12:50That modern road is now sunk into the ground
12:53below the grass level.
12:56And even though archaeologists assumed
12:59they could find an older road under it,
13:01they didn't have any high hopes.
13:04But, when they took off a layer of asphalt,
13:07they noticed two parallel ditches
13:10that were nearly perpendicular to the road.
13:13The ditches connected the shortened sections
13:15of the avenue.
13:16That's what the archaeologists call
13:18the ancient pathway leading up to Stonehenge.
13:21It proves that the ancient people
13:24used to visit the monument for their purposes,
13:26and probably some ceremonies.
13:30Another interesting find during a dry summer
13:32was three dry patch marks
13:34within the stone circle.
13:36It looks like they were left there
13:38by three massive boulders.
13:40So Stonehenge could have been
13:42a full circle once.
13:45In 2021, archaeologists found
13:48a Roman road submerged
13:50in the Venetian lagoon.
13:52The fact that it runs there
13:54on the bottom for nearly 4,000 feet
13:56is proof that the Romans were here
13:59before sea levels rose
14:00and flooded the area.
14:02It supports the theory
14:04that there was an important settlement here
14:06centuries before Venice
14:07was founded at the spot
14:08in the 5th century CE.
14:11The ancient Romans were great
14:13at many things,
14:15and one of them
14:15was building roads.
14:17And it looks like
14:18they weren't afraid to work
14:19on the trickiest terrain.
14:21Scans have shown
14:22that the ancient road
14:23was built right on the beach,
14:25and it requires
14:26some serious skills.
14:30Imagine a village
14:32from over 1,000 years ago
14:34frozen in time.
14:35There's still half-eaten food
14:37on the tables
14:38and personal things
14:39left in a rush.
14:41It's all preserved so well
14:43because it's covered
14:44by volcanic ash.
14:46Researchers found this village
14:48in 2011
14:49in modern-day El Salvador.
14:51They believe
14:52there was a mass celebration
14:54in a Maya village
14:55called Serin
14:56over 1,400 years ago.
14:59The whole village was there,
15:01preparing the main temple
15:02for a ritual
15:03when a nearby volcano
15:05erupted.
15:06The 200-plus residents
15:08had no time
15:09to rush back to their homes.
15:11To save their lives,
15:12they had to flee the plaza
15:14and run south
15:15on a raised road
15:16called Sacbe.
15:17They managed to escape
15:19from the plumes
15:20of volcanic ash.
15:21In addition to being
15:22a superhero
15:23and saving all the people,
15:25the road had another
15:26cool feature.
15:27All Sacbe roads
15:29had an outer layer
15:30of stones.
15:31But this one
15:32was made of ash.
15:34Ironic, isn't it?
15:36It proves that the Maya people
15:38didn't only use stones
15:39to build their roads.
15:42Archaeologists discovered
15:43several coins in Jerusalem
15:45when they were excavating
15:46an old street.
15:47When they saw
15:48the minting dates,
15:49they realized
15:50the road was built
15:51when Pontius Pilate
15:52was the Roman governor
15:53of Judea.
15:55Since he was
15:56the local ruler,
15:57it's almost clear
15:58that he gave the order
16:00to build the road.
16:02The pilgrims
16:03most likely used
16:04this road
16:05to reach the temple mount
16:06for worship.
16:07The pathway,
16:08which was laid
16:09with over 10,000 tons
16:10of limestone,
16:11was almost as broad
16:13as a London bus
16:14is long.
16:16It had been there
16:17for 2,000 years.
16:19It's not common
16:20that you find
16:21such a luxurious road.
16:22And it's not clear
16:23why a Roman governor
16:24would spend so much money
16:26on the road.
16:27It was probably
16:28his attempt
16:29to make the city's
16:30population like him.
16:31Plus,
16:32it was a great way
16:33to show he had
16:34both money
16:34and influence.
16:38The Old North Trail
16:39is an ancient highway
16:41that the inhabitants
16:42of North America
16:43used for 10,000 years.
16:45First on foot,
16:46then with dogs,
16:48and finally with horses.
16:50The first travelers
16:51moved around the continent
16:52down its paths
16:53for thousands of miles
16:55long before
16:56the first Europeans arrived
16:57and even during
16:59the last ice age.
17:02They used it
17:03to carry trade goods,
17:05visit relatives,
17:06find a mate,
17:07or just explore.
17:09Researchers keep
17:10finding evidence
17:11that the stories
17:11and legends
17:12of the Blackfoot Indians
17:13about this trail
17:15are real.
17:17And it could be
17:18even the road
17:19that served
17:19one of the most
17:20massive human migrations.
17:22The people who crossed
17:23from Asia
17:24on the Bering Land Bridge
17:25about 15,000 years ago
17:27and settled
17:28in North America
17:29might have used
17:30the ice-free corridor
17:31along the Rockies,
17:33which later
17:34became a part
17:35of the trail.
17:38The Nakasendo Highway
17:40was built
17:40in the 17th century
17:42during the Edo period
17:43of Japanese history
17:44to link Kyoto
17:46and Tokyo.
17:48The 310-mile-long road
17:51runs across mountain ranges
17:52and down
17:53onto the plain.
17:54It was one of the
17:55five main roads
17:57used by the feudal lords
17:58and their families
17:59to travel to the capital.
18:01There were 69 post stations
18:03on the route
18:04where travelers
18:05could stay overnight.
18:07The road was built
18:08for horses
18:09and pedestrians
18:10as the Japanese
18:11didn't use carts.
18:13You can still walk
18:15parts of the route.
18:17You're flying
18:19over the Pacific Ocean
18:20when suddenly
18:21a storm hits the plane
18:23causing it to shake.
18:25The aircraft
18:26begins to descend
18:27and you lose control.
18:29You quickly
18:29put on a parachute,
18:31eject yourself
18:32from the plane
18:32and land
18:33on an island.
18:34It's a good thing
18:35you were the only one
18:36on the plane
18:37transporting some goods
18:38overseas.
18:39Luckily enough,
18:41the storm hasn't
18:42damaged your parachute.
18:44You unstrap yourself
18:45and head to the closest
18:46shelter under some
18:47palm trees.
18:48You're waiting
18:49for the storm
18:50to be over.
18:52The next day
18:55The sun is shining
18:56and the waves
18:57seem nice and friendly.
18:59You wake up
19:00and look around.
19:01Nothing but a large
19:02stretch of water
19:03encircling you
19:03from all directions.
19:05Not a boat,
19:07human,
19:07or another living being
19:09is around.
19:09You scout the island
19:11trying to find anything.
19:12You don't even know
19:13what you're looking for.
19:15On one side
19:16of the small island,
19:17you see some scrap metal
19:19and remnants
19:19of the plane
19:20washed ashore.
19:22You rush over there
19:23and try to see
19:24if there's anything useful.
19:26Too bad
19:27everything is destroyed.
19:28However,
19:29one sealed box
19:31has made it.
19:32You open it
19:33and see dozens
19:34of duct tape rolls
19:35piled on top
19:36of each other.
19:38After going
19:39through the island,
19:40you head back
19:41to your camp,
19:42dragging the box
19:43of duct tape.
19:45You try to figure out
19:46what to do.
19:47Soon,
19:48you get a lightbulb moment.
19:50There are some places
19:52on the island
19:52that are hard to access.
19:54And since your shoes
19:55have been damaged,
19:56you fashion out
19:57some sandals.
19:58To do it,
19:59you grab some branches
20:00and try to use duct tape
20:02to make a new pair
20:03of shoes.
20:06After many failed attempts,
20:08you almost give up.
20:09But then,
20:10you attach some duct tape
20:12to pieces of tree bark
20:13that are roughly
20:14the size of your foot.
20:16Those are going to be
20:17the soles
20:17of your new shoes.
20:19The duct tape is smooth
20:20and won't hurt your feet.
20:22After adding several branches,
20:24you wrap the duct tape
20:25around your feet
20:26and voila!
20:28You have duct tape sandals.
20:31Now you can venture
20:32into the rocky parts
20:33of the island
20:34without damaging your feet.
20:36As you walk along the island,
20:38you start feeling the heat.
20:40You wrap your shirt
20:42around your head,
20:43but it's not enough
20:44to protect you.
20:45You use some duct tape
20:47to create a hat
20:48with the help of leaves.
20:50Then you place it
20:51on your head.
20:52You're now safe to go.
20:53After a while,
20:55you bring back
20:56some stuff you found
20:57around the island.
20:58By this time,
20:59you've started to feel
21:00that your tummy is rumbling.
21:02Next,
21:03at a rocky reef,
21:04you spot some large,
21:06yummy crabs and fish,
21:07but you can't catch them
21:09with your bare hands.
21:11You grab a long branch,
21:13take some palm tree leaves,
21:14and tie everything together
21:16to make a net.
21:18You then use the duct tape
21:19to reinforce it
21:20and head to the reef.
21:22You're wearing
21:23your makeshift sandals
21:24and the hat
21:25to protect your head
21:26and carrying the net
21:27to catch some fish.
21:30So far,
21:31you've only used
21:32two rolls of duct tape.
21:34After a while,
21:35you manage to catch
21:37some fish and crabs
21:38and take them back
21:39to the camp.
21:42You make a fire
21:43and start grilling
21:44your catch.
21:45You're sitting on a log,
21:47but such a seat
21:48isn't too comfortable.
21:49You take some duct tape
21:51and make a mat
21:52for yourself.
21:53Once the food is ready,
21:55you feast on it.
21:56Now,
21:57another problem,
21:58water.
21:59There's no fresh water around,
22:01but a storm is coming.
22:04Meanwhile,
22:05you take some coconuts
22:06and eat dessert
22:07while drinking coconut milk
22:08to freshen up.
22:10You prepare a small hut
22:12by gathering branches
22:14and leaves
22:14and duct taping them together
22:16so that water
22:17can't seep
22:18into your new home.
22:20At the same time,
22:21you create a funnel
22:23out of duct tape
22:24to collect rainwater.
22:25After getting into the funnel,
22:27the water is collected
22:28in a makeshift pond,
22:30also made out of duct tape.
22:33At this point,
22:34you've used almost half
22:36of the duct tape rolls.
22:38The storm starts brewing
22:39and you stay inside your hut
22:41where you have
22:42your new floor mat.
22:43You're bored,
22:45so you create a chair
22:46and table out of duct tape
22:48to make the hut
22:49a little comfier.
22:50It starts raining
22:51and you notice
22:52that some water
22:53has gathered
22:54in the reservoir you built.
22:55You immediately drink it
22:57using a coconut shell
22:58as a glass.
22:59Your hut manages
23:01to withstand the storm
23:02and you catch some Z's
23:04on your comfy mat.
23:06The next day,
23:08you check the duct tape supply
23:09and see that you are now
23:10halfway to finishing
23:12your last roll of tape.
23:15You've made a secured
23:16and solid hut
23:17and have a steady food supply
23:19from the reef.
23:20You've already spent
23:21five days on the island,
23:23so now it's time
23:24to find a way out.
23:26You've tried your best
23:28to seek help,
23:29but nothing.
23:30Not a plane
23:32or ship in sight.
23:34You're desperate
23:35to get out
23:35and you're lucky.
23:37You spot a cargo ship
23:39very far off
23:40in the distance.
23:41You need to act quickly.
23:44After reviewing
23:45your box of duct tape,
23:47you decide to create
23:48a raft
23:49to sail away.
23:50You gather enough food
23:52and water for the journey
23:53and get to work.
23:57You start by collecting
23:58large logs for a base
24:00and setting them
24:01side by side.
24:02You have some rope
24:03made from tree bark
24:05and leaves
24:05to tie the logs together.
24:07It's big enough
24:08to fit you.
24:09You then get another
24:10set of logs
24:11and place them
24:12on top of the base
24:13and repeat the same process
24:15to create a second layer.
24:17This way,
24:18you minimize
24:18the risk of sinking.
24:20In the end,
24:22you duct tape
24:23all weak spots
24:24to reinforce your raft.
24:26You use some branches
24:27to create oars
24:28for rowing
24:28with paddles
24:29made out of duct tape.
24:31You see that you've used
24:33around 75%
24:34of your supply,
24:35including the tape
24:36you use
24:37to construct the hut
24:38and furniture.
24:39It's not as strong
24:41as fresh duct tape,
24:42but it still does the job.
24:46After the base
24:47and oars are finished,
24:48you create a small hut
24:50to shelter your food
24:51and supplies
24:52and protect them
24:53from waves.
24:54Also,
24:55you make a mast
24:56out of wood
24:57and use a piece
24:58of cloth
24:58as a sail.
24:59You put the raft
25:00on the water
25:01and begin rowing.
25:03So far,
25:04so good.
25:05You open the sail
25:06and take a break
25:07from rowing.
25:08You turn around
25:09and take a look
25:09at the island
25:10that has been your home
25:11for the past five days.
25:13You're going
25:14on a dangerous journey,
25:16risking it all.
25:17But if you remain
25:18on the island
25:18for too long,
25:19then you definitely
25:20won't make it.
25:23It's been an hour already
25:24and the island
25:26is barely visible.
25:27But the ship
25:28is getting closer.
25:29You still have
25:30one more roll
25:31of duct tape
25:32to use in emergency situations.
25:34The waters are calm
25:35and you see
25:36dolphins swimming around.
25:38You snack on some fish
25:39and drink some water
25:41before noticing
25:42that the waves
25:42have gotten larger.
25:44You prepare your sail
25:46and duck for cover.
25:47It's a good thing
25:48your raft is sturdy.
25:50Large waves
25:51crash against it,
25:53knocking off
25:53some of your food
25:54and water.
25:55But the raft
25:56is still in one piece.
25:59As time passes,
26:01the sun begins to set
26:02and there's still
26:03no sign of life.
26:05You use the rest
26:06of the duct tape
26:07to repair the raft.
26:09Even though you lost
26:10some food during the storm,
26:12you have your net
26:13to catch more fish.
26:15You start a small
26:16and safe bonfire
26:17in a coconut shell,
26:19cook the fish,
26:20and start eating.
26:21You turn around
26:22and spot a ship
26:24coming your way.
26:25You immediately
26:26grab a branch,
26:27light it,
26:28and start waving it
26:29for the ship
26:30to see you.
26:32It looks like
26:33it will miss you,
26:34but then
26:35someone on the ship
26:36notices you.
26:37They drop down
26:38an emergency boat
26:39to pick you up
26:40and rescue you.
26:42It's safe to say
26:43that duct tape
26:44has truly saved
26:46your life.
