Antarctica: Ocean Exploration Uncovered (Short Film)
In Antarctica’s most isolated seas, an international team of scientists deploy underwater robots to map hidden volcanoes on the ocean floor. Their mission: to explore uncharted depths and uncover submarine geohazards that could unleash tsunamis across the globe. Despite covering over 70% of our planet, less than a quarter of the seafloor has been mapped and we know far more about the surfaces of Mars and the Moon than our own oceans. Join Plymouth associate professor in ocean exploration Dr Jenny Gales on this gripping expedition that plunges you into a world of icebergs, hurricane-force winds, towering waves, and erupting volcanoes —all captured in 360° immersion—revealing astonishing discoveries hidden beneath the waves.
