Join Martin Clunes as he adventures around the Island of the Atlantic | New Production

Between the North Pole and the South, our Earth is tearing itself apart. For millennia, from a 10,000 mile gash in the ocean floor, molten rock has poured to the surface creating new lands, new islands, scattered across 31 million square miles of ocean. Mathematically, the Pacific may be bigger, but nothing can touch the Atlantic for its epic scale or its furious wild beauty. Without its beating heart, pumping warmth out of the tropics, the planet would freeze. And even today – with our satellites and our know-how – its immensity ensures that any exploration of this unique environment represents a huge challenge for the traveller. Uniquely, the Atlantic’s islands are an extraordinary mix of fire and ice….and Martin’s journey will explore the diverse landscapes of these two elemental forces.
