Alaska is known for its mountains, snow, and amazing wide-open spaces. But this videographer is zooming in on one of the little-known wonders of Alaska: its underwater life.

These videos show the rocks, sticks, and leaves that have wound up under the surface of the water. In John’s videos, they take a new life, looking like an astounding, never-before-seen landscape.
