The mystery of Africa splitting in two has puzzled scientists for decades. Now researchers finally believe they’ve found the hidden force behind it. Roads, homes, even entire landscapes are being reshaped, and one day this rift could create a whole new ocean. But this isn’t the only strange discovery shaking our world. In this video, you’ll also see the most mysterious volcanoes, lost cities hidden for centuries, unbelievable archaeological finds, and secrets buried deep under the ground. From ancient artifacts scientists still can’t explain, to vanished civilizations and jaw-dropping natural phenomena, these are the stories that rewrite what we thought we knew about our planet and its history.

Did you know there’s a volcano in Antarctica that spits out gold worth nearly $2 million every year? Mount Erebus is unlike any other volcano on Earth - a fiery giant that constantly breathes, rumbles, and showers the ice continent with microscopic flecks of real gold. But Erebus is just one example. We dive into the most incredible and dangerous volcanoes on the planet: from supervolcanoes that could reshape life on Earth, to bizarre eruptions, lost civilizations, and places where people still live in the shadow of fire. Discover their secrets, their mysteries, and why scientists keep such a close eye on them.

Something huge is moving through space — and it’s headed our way. Scientists have detected massive shockwaves racing toward Earth, the kind that can rattle magnetic fields, disrupt satellites, and light up the skies with dazzling auroras. But what’s driving them? Exploding stars? Solar eruptions? Or something even stranger? In this video, we’ll break down what shockwaves are, how they reach us, and what might happen when they do. Stick around, because space just sent us a reminder of how small — and vulnerable — our planet really is.

Archaeologists have just lifted massive stone blocks from the seafloor - the remains of the legendary Lighthouse of Alexandria, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. For the first time in centuries, we can take a closer look at this engineering marvel and even “rebuild” it in virtual reality. And this is only part of the story. In this video, you’ll see the most incredible archaeological discoveries: from mysterious megaliths and lost civilizations to hidden tombs, sunken cities, and shocking revelations about the world’s greatest wonders. History is still full of secrets and we’re uncovering them piece by piece.

There’s a volcano in Alaska - Mount Spurr - so massive that ordinary volcanoes seem tiny in comparison. Scientists have discovered that this monster is waking up, and the warning signs are becoming impossible to ignore. If it erupts, we’re not just talking about local damage — we’re talking about an event powerful enough to affect the entire planet. This isn’t a scene from a movie; it’s real science, unfolding right now. The alarms are sounding, and the world needs to pay attention. Join us as we dive into what could be one of the most important discoveries of our time.

Deep inside the Amazon, scientists uncovered gigantic tunnels carved into solid rock. At first glance, they look like natural caves, but the smooth floors and marks on the walls prove otherwise. In this video, we explore the strangest underground mysteries ever discovered. From hidden tunnels drawn in Da Vinci’s sketches to networks secretly connecting Europe, and from ancient treasures buried beneath Egyptian pyramids to sunken civilizations under Lake Huron and Cuba. These are the discoveries that rewrite history and challenge everything we thought we knew about the ancient world.

Love+War chronicles Pulitzer Prize-winning Lynsey Addario’s ascent in the male-dominated world of conflict photography. But her work is dangerous. She’s been kidnapped twice while on assignment in war zones — a cost she must wrestle with each time she leaves her husband and two sons to go on assignment. Behind the camera, Addario is torn between her unwavering commitment to the essential work of journalism and the powerful, competing demands of motherhood, grappling with what it truly means to follow your calling when it threatens everything you love.
Love+War airs on National Geographic on November 6 at 9/8c. It will be available on Disney+ starting November 7.

JANE GOODALL: THE HOPE illustrates how one woman’s passion for wildlife and unshakable drive have persevered and set an example for future generations.
In 1960, Dr. Jane Goodall’s early fieldwork observing chimpanzees at Gombe Stream Game Reserve, in Tanganyika (now Tanzania), unveiled groundbreaking research of shared behaviors between humans and apes.
The Jane Goodall Institute announced on October 1, 2025, that Jane Goodall died at 91. A primatologist, conservationist, animal advocate, educator, and National Geographic Explorer, her work revolutionized our understanding of the natural world.

The warm, shallow waters of the Gulf of Mexico are a thriving hub of industry and commerce, but they’re also rocket fuel for hurricanes. The Gulf Coast has been decimated in the past, but every time the marine and coastal economies bounce back. With more people, more ships, more fishermen and more oil platforms here than ever before, three major storms will bring a new level of devastation.

I took a boat through 96 million black plastic balls on the Los Angeles reservoir to find out why they're there.
The first time I heard about shade balls the claim was they reduce evaporation.
But it turns out this isn't the reason they were introduced.
There is a riddle that is so counterintuitive, it still seems wrong even if you know the answer.

Lift is an important concept, not only in flying but also in sailing. This week I'm talking to Olympic Sailor, Hunter Lowden. But before I get to the physics of sailing I thought I would explain lift since it's generally poorly understood.

When I mentioned to people that I was doing a video on transistors, they would say "as in a transistor radio?" Yes! That's exactly what I mean, but it goes so much deeper than that. After the transistor was invented in 1947 one of the first available consumer technologies it was applied to was radios, so they could be made portable and higher quality. Hence the line in 'Brown-eyed Girl' - "going down to the old mine with a transistor radio."
But more important to our lives today, the transistor made possible the microcomputer revolution, and hence the Internet, and also TVs, mobile phones, fancy washing machines, dishwashers, calculators, satellites, projectors etc. etc. A transistor is based on semiconductor material, usually silicon, which is 'doped' with impurities to carefully change its electrical properties. These n and p-type semiconductors are then put together in different configurations to achieve a desired electrical result. And in the case of the transistor, this is to make a tiny electrical switch. These switches are then connected together to perform computations, store information, and basically make everything electrical work intelligently.

No, I could not actually suck water up 10m - I did about 4m, but the vacuum pump was easily able to do it and I saw spontaneous boiling on all of our various trials. Footage from this may end up on 2Veritasium.
Trees create immense negative pressures of 10's of atmospheres by evaporating water from nanoscale pores, sucking water up 100m in a state where it should be boiling but can't because the perfect xylem tubes contain no air bubbles, just so that most of it can evaporate in the process of absorbing a couple molecules of carbon dioxide. Now I didn't mention the cohesion of water (that it sticks to itself well) but this is implicit in the description of negative pressure, strong surface tension etc.
