Around 60 years ago, marine scientists on an armada of ships from 14 countries combined their efforts to explore the largest unknown area of earth, the deep waters and seafloor of the Indian Ocean.

En avril 2017, une équipe internationale de scientifiques part étudier les écosystèmes inconnus d'un mont sous-marin reculé du sud-ouest de l'océan Indien à bord du MARION-DUFRESNE, navire océanographique français opéré par l'Institut polaire français IPEV. Le Banc WALTERS, une montagne submergée située au-delà des juridictions nationales, est étudié par les scientifiques du Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle et de l'IRD (Institut de Recherche pour le Développement) pendant l'expédition de 26 jours. 'La Dernière Frontière' est un documentaire produit par l'UICN en partenariat avec et grâce au soutien financier du Fonds Français pour l'Environnement Mondial (FFEM) qui relate cette expédition et ses enjeux. Il appelle à plus de science pour la haute mer, et une meilleure gouvernance des eaux internationales. Ecrit par James NIKITINE, il est réalisé par James NIKITINE et Fabiano D'AMATO, avec une narration d'Alain GHAZAL et une musique de Woodkid. La haute mer constitue #LaDernièreFrontière à nos connaissances. Pour plus d'informations rendez-vous sur le site: https://www.iucn.org/science4highseas
