We're sticking to our theme of featuring ocean expeditions on this month's episode of The Ocean Decade Show! Tune in as Taylor speaks to famous Arctic and Antarctic explorer Dr. Jean-Louis Etienne about his upcoming Ocean Decade-endorsed expedition Polar Pod, an unprecedented maritime exploration of the Southern Ocean, the main driver of the Earth's climate and a huge reserve of marine biodiversity. On a custom-designed, zero-emission ship, this expedition worthy of Jules Verne will provide much-needed information on the understudied Southern Ocean.
