Journey to the Edge of Nowhere (Extreme Adventures - Full Documentary) | TRACKS

How would you like to leave everything behind to live in one of the harshest and most remote places of the world?

Well, meet marine biologist Dean, who for an entire year carries out his research expedition on an isolated island in the southwest Pacific Ocean. His mission is to study the return of the almost extinct Antarctic fur seal to Macquarie Island - an UNESCO World Heritage Site situated roughly between Australia and Antarctica.

Working so close to nature and wildlife brings spectacular views, unforgettable experiences and a real adventure. But sometimes, our marine biologist takes a break and cuddles with a seal pup.

TRACKS publishes unique, unexpected and untold stories from across the world every week.
