“The Mysteries of Clipperton”

Nature and Environment (), Luc Marescot, Brigitte Delahaie (Frankreich) 91 min

A ring of coral lost in the Pacific is the most isolated atoll on earth. Clipperton, a tiny French territory off the Pacific coast of Mexico, remains a scientific mystery. How did life manage to take root here? Which species have developed? Doctor Jean-Louis Etienne fulfils a lifelong dream by organizing a large scientific expedition to solve the mysteries of Clipperton. The lagoon at the centre of the atoll has been cut off from the ocean for 150 years as a result of a terrible storm. A freshwater pool has formed above the salty ocean. How has life accommodated for such a combination? Will the mystery planet yield its secrets?
