Under The Pole - The New Frontier

After a first underwater expedition in the Arctic, the Under the Pole crew throws itself a new great and unprecedented challenge: dive at 100 meters in the polar abyss, in the heart of Greenland’s most breathtaking fjords, to reach depths still uncharted by researchers and to collect new data for scientists around the world.

 

An ambitious 8-month-long expedition over 2,500 kilometers of Greenland’s coasts to achieve 200 dives between 0 and 100 meters. A feat never accomplished before. What will they find down here? And how will their bodies cope in such extreme conditions? Each stage lends itself to a thorough investigation carried out underwater by the divers, studied up on the surface by doctors of physiology, and interpreted by field-based researchers. The final companions are the Inuit who help the team on the surface and who guide them through a ground they know inside and out.

 

A fabulous human and scientific adventure that penetrates the unknown polar depths for the first time.
