What’s in ISSUE 22 / THE WILD ISLES?

THE WILD ISLES

Shetland’s nutrient rich waters are home to a wealth of marine wildlife. Here, underwater photographer Henley Spiers meets charismatic orcas, clumsy puffins and courageous gannets.

AGAINST THE WIND

One hundred years after explorers first summited the world's northernmost volcano, Mount Beerenberg, on a speck of land in the North Atlantic Ocean, a set of adventurers and scientists follow in their footsteps.

UNVEILING The LOST YEARS

Insights into the past, present and future of the North Atlantic loggerhead sea turtle population.

UNKNOWN TERRITORIES

As part of the ‘Expedition’ project, presenter and naturalist Steve Backshall has spent the last four years exploring unknown parts of our planet. One of these expeditions led him to the Eastern Pacific, in search of a fabled shark nursery.

OVERCOMING ADVERSITY

Jaimen Hudson’s stunning drone footage of marine life is known around the world. Having been confined to a wheelchair since a motorbike accident, his story is one of overcoming adversity and reconnecting with the ocean.
