Exploration of Pristine Oceanic Islands

The video explores the last wild places in our oceans, focusing on the pristine islands of San Felix and San Ambrosio. An expedition in 2013 by National Geographic and Oceana Chile aimed to prove these islands' pristine nature. The discovery of the Juan Fernandez Falcon, thought extinct, was a highlight. Submarine exploration revealed diverse marine life, including new species. The video emphasizes the importance of protecting these islands to ensure their survival and future.
