Join a crew of marine biologists as they sail around the incredible Galapagos Islands. Tasked with observing and cataloguing the islands' amazing wildlife and habitats, the scientists need to track down the animals and plants that are unique to the ecosystem and make a visual record. To get the job done they'll have to climb volcanoes, get sneezed?on by marine iguanas, launch a submersible and explore the deep-sea, and so on. Along the way we'll encounter the experts who are the inheritors of Darwin's scientific legacy, and learn all about marine conservation.
