Located in the heart of the Pacific, Clipperton is an environmental enigma. How did life appear on this remote ring of coral? How did its unique ecosystem survive in total isolation ?
The Clipperton Expedition, led by a team of ten permanent researchers and supported by the legendary explorer Jean-Louis Étienne, conducted a massive biological inventory of the island. From December 2004 to April 2005, scientists lived on this rock to understand the evolution of the marine environment. Discover the secrets of a modern-day "Rara-Avis" mission to one of the last frontiers of the Pacific.
