A Microscopic Tour Through A Norwegian Fjord

The video explores the hidden world of microbes in fjords, highlighting the challenges faced in discovering them and the role of microscopy in making them visible. It delves into the different zones of fjords, from the sunlight to the midnight zone, and the unique organisms found in each. The video also discusses the abundance of nematodes and their significance in microbial ecosystems. Finally, it addresses the impact of climate change on these ecosystems and the importance of understanding microbial adaptation.
