Scientists from the European Network of Excellence for Ocean Ecosystem Analysis (EUR-OCEANS) have produced a new film on their contribution to the International Polar Year. The project was instigated by the Southern Ocean System of EUR-OCEANS, based at the British Antarctic Survey, UK and was produced by the EUR-OCEANS public outreach team at the Oceanopolis aquarium in Brest, France. The film features scientists from the UK, Spain, France and Germany and will be shown at the EUR-OCEANS network of aquaria across Europe.
