Great natural wonders - tidal waves at Talbot Bay, Australia - David Attenborough - BBC 

This also seems to me like it _has_ to be the inspiration for the inlet of Cape Suzet in the cartoon Talespin.

- yes, all the fast-flowing water is certainly an interesting natural phenomenon. However, it is also an opportunity to inexpensively install hydroelectric powerplants that can save our planet from climate changes and CO2 pollution. What is Australia waiting for???

LOL, yes, could be a teeny bit higher resolution!

You got me. Hahah lmao. Well put.

That's gold, hahaha.

I laughed 5 minutes straight. Thanks.

to be fair the quality’s not bad considering it’s 12 years ago!

Dr. Steve Brule But you can't,because there is only one SIR DAVID ATTENBOROUGH Merry Christmas!

the only person with a better voice to listen to who is also the number one audio book narrator is Simon Vance.

but you do, steve...

Van ..... Where you been man, hiding under a rock......for all your fucking life?!

New Guinea is probably the most exotic place on Earth.

Wonder how the sea life adapted. And the erosion of the sea bottom. Does it polish rocks? Or reduce them to sand?

​@Darrell Cook as I can imagine, it is supposed to be eroded but maybe in small scale level. To make it sure, need a detail measurement

bRad Nichols - "Narrator," I think you meant

+WildlifeObsessed no he meant narrative your not the RU-vid spelling POLICE!!!!

@@donhouse2920 Saying the narrative has a voice is like saying a story has a voice. A narrator is the person giving the narrative, and is what has the voice. This is not a spelling mistake.

@@donhouse2920 *you're :-)

lol..hahahahahaha

That's why one should never give up.

Yes, you see, that’s the problem with a ‘living language’. Words acquire meaning through general use. What is generally known as a ‘tidal wave’, indeed has nothing to do with tide formation.

I like his narration !

Best get a reversing ,water turbine installed in that flow of free energy.

Morgan Freeman has nice voice to listen to .

@@DJKinney lol what

I dunno, this would have still pissed me off in 2008.

The less you know about something the easier to understand it seems. Welcome to the Dunning- Krueger effect, and for revealing how little you know.

@@sjbechet1111 what?

@@Mr_Venison You obviously know nothing about video codecs or compression especially about what was widely and easily available 13 years ago. The only thing that makes sense about the date of the upload and your comment is; you don't know what you are talking about.

where is the wave?

Ain't no tidal wave there BBC. Try getting your title descriptions correct. Wasn't very spectacular anyway! Just saying.

There is no tidal wave. There's not even a wave

definite tidal wave, the problem is the term is kind of a misnomer. firstly because it's just a very shallow "wave," 1:12. but mostly because a bunch of dummies started calling tsunami's and any other big wave "tidal waves," despite them being much bigger and having nothing to do with the tide. tidal waves are more of a slow fill-and-drain in enclosed spaces or when land makes a pinch point to speed up water through it. the term has just been used incorrectly for years.

Sure you did, and when will you be competing in the swimming at the Olympics?

Telx that's where i almost drowned

Too bad there wasn't a school nearby to teach you to spell.

Try finding it on a map and measuring the distance you'd have to send the power for it to benefit anyone. You'd be generating the world's most expensive power.

James Carter , it has been proposed before , however it is almost as far away as possible from any major city ,900 km to Darwin , 1900 km to Perth.

James Carter was thinking the same thing!

let's see, wind energy is fake, only with big government funding, it's credible, sun energy, well, depend on where you live, big parts of the globe just don't have the climate for it, the green dream is a ly, my friend, by the governments, nuclear is the way to go!

well, let them find a good, dependable energysource, before they are doing stupid thing, look at what happened in belgium. dude, there are better ways to protect the earth, let's start by commercial shipping, and block polluting country's (goodbye china, US, and other filthy pests) renewable energy, it's the new lie......

google "reversing falls" for another good example that has even higher changes then this one, and it is probably over 200 feet wide(the mouth of a major river )

David does that to you lol

''The reporter''? You mean Sir David Attenborough?

Jakisuaki I

Jakisuaki Ima need you to put some respeck on Sir David's name

Sir David Attenborough is a legend!

Element of Kindness They make alot of the sounds in a studio, Google "Foley effect"

Element of Kindness hahaha I was thinking the same thing

Nobody lives there because of lack of power.

Or... you may not need to take it to where people are, just use it to power an offshore data center...

@@michaelmorse2216 no, it's because Australia is the size of the US and only has 30 million people in it. The US has 350 million people and for some reason thinks they need more.

Sorry we have only just reached 25 million literally within the last month. But what is 5 million people between friends.

@@markfryer9880 ah, my bad. That's for proving my point even more.

@@NiallMS1 Like a 747, went right over your head.

@@TheAdventureAuto Sorry!

this place is remote so it’s useless

if only electricity could travel fast enough...

@Dave that's the purpose of transmission lines!

@Dave not to be a smarty but only about 2% of electricity is lost over thousands of miles of high transmission lines. Another 4% is lost through it's distribution once it reaches its destinations. So, I'm sure there is a cost for those miles of high transmission lines but we didn't create a source of electricity in the middle of Nevada (Hoover Dam) for the fun of it. In fact one article made the point of saying few of us live very close to power plants that are creating the electricity! It's been fun. I'm sure glad I live during the time of HD video because there are so many fantastic, unusual, breathtaking, etc., sites and cultures I would have never experienced! What a wonderous time to be alive when even if you are poor like me, we can still experience planetary and universal travel! Enjoyed our repartee...

wth... hahaha

and 2 km from my house! it is truly amazing

Kay Bee I believe the uniqueness here are the two narrow apertures which are the connection to the sea. they make the in/ out flow trusty. while fundy bay seems awesome , it's mouth is pretty wide , so waves don't have a thrust.

He doesn't need to travel that far. The river Severn in England has the third highest tidal range in the world, and only the bay of Fundy (north America) and Ungava bay ( Hudson straits) are bigger. The tidal range on the Severn can be as much as 15m (49ft), this combined to the 'funnel' shaped estuary causes the incoming tide to create great a bore. I'm pretty sure he's already done a documentary on the bay of Fundy though.

Dale McLearn OMG someone from my area! I live In Moncton

Abhijit Oka If you come to Moncton NewBrunswick Which is at the and of the bay we get something called a tidal boar! It happens twice a day

This video has nothing to do with a tsunami.

Thomas Norton I love that!

That's fucking hilarious!! 😂😂😂

got one alao, can confirm.

MARRIAGE isn't a word... It's an Institution!

if she really is bipolar thomas, that's not funny. she needs help and you should be supporting her to get it. If your "bipolar" is a joke at those of us with the illness, the 25 thumbs up worries me: today such commentary is known as bullying.

Look at the location on a map mate. The closest town is many many hundreds kilometers away. You ll need to run these able thru ranges and valleys across a pretty thick bush...

Could also be a good concept - making artificial inlets with turbines at the entrance

I was thinking the same thing.

On the one hand, there's a lot of power you could generate from those tidal forces. But on the other hand, it would be a shame to industrialize such a natural wonder. And, of course, the closest settlement is halfway across the region, so it would cost a LOT to build THAT many pylons from Horizontal Falls to the town of Derby.

for who?

I know, it all seems so big and dangerous lol

What a pity. One of the most beautiful places on earth will soon be vanished.

No, it was uploaded in really low quality.

Herr Richtig yeah, dey doan kno de wey to do it in hd...

NathanC same

+El Presidente Extremely remote area. Too expensive to get the power anywhere.

free energy twice a day is not forever

You cant... its a tourist area and hard to build

Nobody lives anywhere close so not a good place for power generation

Maria M No prob, Your welcome. and for my next trick, I will walk on water!!!

And the ability to live in a cave apparently...🙄

And thank you for NOT giving it to us in 144p!

“Thank you thank you thank you-ooo!” -Alanis Morisette.

Thank you the moon, for causing tides! Science!

closer to 10 meters

36 feet=10.9728m

Who the fuck do you know with 14cm long feet? A foot is called a foot because it's the length of a regular adult male foot. It's just over 3 feet in a meter (with a meter being about the length of an adult male's gait). I swear this obsession with metric is causing atrophy in the brains of people that don't care to think for themselves.

don't you have Google like the rest of the world? You could just look it up like the rest of us did. must be a lazy liberal
