Heard island
Description
Over 2,000 miles southwest of Australia, Heard Island is wet, windy, and one of the few unspoiled environments left on earth. In this program, scientists and researchers from a wide array of disciplines undertake a six-month expedition to this remote spot that serves as a precise barometer of climate change and global warming. The team conducts studies ranging from archaeological excavations of Heard Island's once-bustling seal blubber industry to ornithological surveys of migratory sea birds and their diets.
