Tasked with observing and cataloguing the islands' amazing wildlife and
habitats, the scientists need to track down the animals and plants that
are unique to the ecosystem and make a visual record. To get the job
done they'll have to climb volcanoes, get sneezed on by marine iguanas,
launch a submersible and explore the deep-sea, and so on. Along the way
we'll encounter the experts who are the inheritors of Darwin's
scientific legacy, and learn all about marine conservation.
