Some of you may have already been watching the fantastic BBC 2 series Oceans but for those of you who haven’t this brief introduction sheds light on this incredible programme……look out for the episode on the Arctic!
Oceans is an 8-part series which looks in to the state of our oceans, the role they have played in the past, present and future with the aim of a better understanding them. The 18 strong production team led by explorer Paul Rose includes environmentalist Philippe Cousteau (grandson of Captain Jacques-Yves Cousteau), maritime archaeologist Dr Lucy Blue and marine biologist and oceanographer Tooni Mahto. In the creation of this series the team ventured into extreme environments over the course of a year from the Red Sea to the Arctic.
For me the Arctic is an area I cannot wait to see on Oceans, being one of the most inaccessible oceans in the world and an area that is most sensitive to climatic change this is bound to be an incredible episode and both highly interesting as well as awe-inspiring. The team travelled to the waters near Svalbard with the aim of getting a glimpse of the wonderful Arctic wildlife and phenomena and to get a snapshot of the state of some polar ecosystems.
