Natural History and Wildlife

Atlantic - Fire In The Ocean


On this journey we’ll explore the natural history of remote Atlantic islands, from Iceland in the north to those fringing Antarctica in the south.

Running down the centre of the Atlantic is a vast chain of volcanic mountains, 10,000km long – the mid-Atlantic Ridge. As underwater volcanoes erupt they create new seafloor – but occasionally eruptions are big enough to rise above the surface as tiny, isolated islands. Born of fire, these islands teem with life forms found nowhere else on earth.
