Wish we had more information about how the dome captured heat, and what the inner structure of it looks like!

What incredible cinematography! Stunning.

When I was a teenager (42-43 yrs ago) I would take my sketch pad, color pencils and go sit in a field somewhere and start drawing the wild flowers. The tinier they were, the more beautiful they were. Now I am not sure if I can sketch again. My life depends on it actually. 😅

Best of everything to you. What a wonderful and much better way to spend your time, sketching, than those who waste their time fighting over politics and politicians. I say to you.....sketch on, Friend.

@@grantsmythe8625 Thank you for your kind words. I sure hope to pick it up some day 😊

How can you make a documentary about a specific plant and not even give the botanical name !? 🌱

Thank you BBC

Charming flowers of colors like anywhere else. Noticeable absence of buzzing pollinators reminds us it's tundra!

May the Earth thrive forever. Nature is tantamount to Humanity.

Beautiful camera work. This is just like home in the canadian Arctic. We have all the same plants here on the tundra 😊

... I absolutely love watching BBC Earth clips 🤗 ...

Creation is absolutely fantastic

Brilliant cinematography ❤❤

Wow! super fascinating fact about nature and wonders. Thanks.

After 10 years of not watching BBC earth, it feels so weird with the narrator not being John Hurt. RIP🕊️

I know right

Nature will always amaze me and give me hope in this someone’s Dreary world.

Incredibly beautiful!

The plant is Silene acaulis, if like me you were disappointed to not have the name. Common names include Compass plant, as mentioned, but also moss campion or cushion pink. Still don't know how it produces heat though.

My guess would be that the leaves absorb heat, gets transferred through the vascular system and is then retained within the depths of the plant's cushion.

How are those plants pollinated

Getting plants blooming must be dope with a go pro and make it go slow asfff. I wonder if Go Pros getting the detail it can actually get.

How does that central heating system function?

Čudo prirode 💖😊 čovek nema pojma koliko malo zna o svemu što postoji na našoj planeti..🤔 toliko smo sebični da ćemo jednog dana sami sebe uništiti, iskorišćavajući prirodne resurse, uzurpirajući staništa drugih živih bića mislim da ćemo sami sebi presuditi 😔

🌸🌿👏

Saw the photo & thought it was a crocus.

Süperrrr🎉

1:33 30 Celsius = 86 Fahrenheit

I wonder if we would ever try to til some locations and leave them alone would help not destroy the Earth. Or like habitat improvements in Nature like adding Water Tubs for animals to drink.

Who knew!? It always seems too cold on Svalbard.

The narrator sounds like Domhnall Gleason. Does anyone know for certain?🤔

Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! Thanks BBC Earth for producing this superb video that makes me exclaim: 'There are always new things to learn under the sun'.

Afinal, estas plantas não estão no padrão normal...não são efémeras!! Incrível...

How did they determine its age if it doesn't have growth rings? 🤔

There is this article titled "Life and Times of Tundra Plants: How Long Do They Live, and How They Are Responding to Climate Change" by Daniel F. Doak and William F. Morris over on the National Park Service site that details how this is done for not only this plant but other tundra plants as well.

"They drill a very small core to get to the interior layers of dead wood and use radiocarbon dating to determine the age. You can do this without harming the plant too much."

Beautiful cinematography… but serious doubts that it was the early explorers who figured out it bloomed on the south side first. Please be more intentional about including traditional ecological knowledge in your research. The indigenous people of this land would have known this long before explorers arrived.

What is the scientific name of this plant?

The Fascinating Plant That Lives For 300+ Years | Seasonal Wonderlands | BBC Earth 15.3.24. that long? No doubt sone far sighted boffin has cultivated one such and instructed his future progeny and so on and so forth to make notes?

, yes yes hi

It’s not a flower it’s technically moss it’s a mutation

Stängellose Leimkraut (Silene acaulis),

how did you establish its age, im sceptical.
