Pioneers of the Deep

52MIN

In the vast emptiness of the Pacific Ocean, tectonic movements construct or destroy islands. In the Tongan archipelago, two little-known animals have learnt to cope with these ephemeral lands. The sooty tern is a seabird that never dares wet its wings for fear of drowning. The Alvin shrimp is a blind crustacean that nonetheless manages to find its way around the abyss.
