The glacieral waters of Iceland are so pure that they are perfect for understanding why water is blue. With such good visibility, professional diver Ted Whittnal can see the importance of photons and light at different depths of the ocean.

This is why many deep ocean creatures tend to be red colored. They become less visible. Many of them are also as transparent as possible to avoid predators.

Thank you, I have used the solar eclipse and why is colour blue information to form the concept for a song.

It is not only deep water that reflects blue. I was always enchanted by the colour of ice and you don't need large glaciers or big chunks of ice to see the effects. Take a look at photos of Sweden's Ice Hotel and you will see the clear ice carvings, blocks of ice & chandeliers reflect blue. When you look at these carved ice rooms, they mostly look white to the naked eye. But when you take a video or photograph they reflect far more blue, especially where the ice is clear as opposed to 'frosted'. I would think there is less 'photon vibration' in ice absorbing red & yellow wavelengths and the little pieces of carved ice chandelier do not require a 'depth of water' to return the blue colour. Our atmosphere reflects blue back to us on earth on a clear sky day, even though we know the depths of space beyond are pitch black. Interesting & beautiful.

Interesting to see the colors vary with depth, thanks for the documentary.

Okay, so red is absorbed by the water, that still leaves green and blue of the primary emitted colors and since our eyes are twice as sensitive to green (having twice as many cones in our retinas) why wouldn't the water look green? Or did I miss something?

Great explanation thank you, bcz she is perfect in Blue no matter science whatever say...

That crystal clear water looks amazing and absolutely tranquil. I truly hope it will stay this pristine forever without tourists ruining it. I will say, however, that you still didn’t really explain why water is blue. 🤷‍♀️

Great explanation, I get it! Water absorbs/filters out light color but BLUE gets through the filters! Another interesting video! Keep up the great work! Enjoy these interesting videos 🤠🇺🇸

So there are different color photons? I thought a photon was a photon and the eye receptor changed based on the wavelength (rods and cones). Does she mean the red wavelength gets swallowed up, and maybe the density of the water changed the speed of the wavelength further to the point of bending the red out? Interesting vid. Thanks.

Better yet, why is water wet?

Why is this an edited version of the one with brian cox of 2016? Some shots are literally the same! Which is the original?

So, the water knows where it is because it knows where it isn’t

So, there are lives in other blue planets? Since the color indicates water

Can’t this be explained using the same rationale used for why the sky is blue, I.e Rayleigh scattering? Vibgyor, or violet blue green yellow orange and red comprise the rainbow, or visual light spectrum. The colors that any medium doesn’t absorb, are re radiated outwards, giving said medium its color. The sequence is from low wavelength to higher, which is why at sunset, when the suns rays traverse a greater relative distance , the sun now appears orangish.
