Greenland is a spectacle to behold! It's almost entirely covered in ice, yet there are some "green" areas. Still, the largest island in the world is home to only about 56,000 people making it one of the least densely populated regions of...

Join Vincent and the sea rescue patrols as they launch a GPS-enabled bottle off the coast of Brittany. By studying the local currents and tides, they aim to send the bottle on a journey to England. Follow the bottle's path with...

Join Vincent, Agathe, and David as they investigate the journey of a bottle thrown into the sea. Inspired by the famous 1992 plastic duck experiment, they study ocean currents, including surface and deep currents, to predict the...

With unprecedented heat waves and record-breaking global temperatures, it’s hard to believe that there might be a place on earth that has actually COOLED since the industrial revolution.
