In 1960, Jacques Picard and Don Walsh reached the deepest point of the world’s oceans piloting a submarine named Trieste. More recently, new records were set by James Cameron’s first solo descent in 2013, Patrick Lahey and Jonathan Struw’s deepest sea recovery in 2019, and astronaut Kathryn Sullivan, who set the record for the first woman in 2020.  There are 12 records out of 15 in total.

Journey To The Ends Of The Earth – There are still wild places out there in this crowded world of ours. Through a unique journey, Dan Richards explores romance and research. Deserts, seemingly untouched by human hands: mountains, tundra, forests, oceans and deserts. These are places that speak of deep time, the scale of which can knock us down to greatness. Their forest is in their beauty and in a place where they have been drawing emotions, spirituality, art for a long time. For those seeking refuge, the silence and publicity of the forest is – perhaps surprisingly – a refuge created by people who need to move; Camps: both, bivouacs, cabins and houses. Part of their appeal is their simplicity: enough construction to protect against the weather but not so much as to distract from the surrounding environment. Following a trail from the Cairngorms of Scotland to a fire-watching … Read the rest
