Added May 12, 2026

Description

Ocean engineer and National Geographic Explorer Brennan Phillips and his team surveyed underwater volcano Kavachi, located near the Solomon Islands. They encountered a surprising amount of sea life, including the rarely filmed Pacific sleeper shark. Phillips believes the high-definition images of this elusive shark represent only the third—and maybe the best—video of the shark ever made. ➡ Subscribe: #NationalGeographic #Sharks #Volcanoes About National Geographic: National Geographic is the world's premium destination for critically acclaimed storytelling around science and exploration.
