This month, we come face to face with deep sea species in our blackwater diving special. Join us this episode as we jump into the fascinating world of blackwater diving, where expert scuba divers plunge into the open ocean at night in order to catch a glimpse of our favourite deep sea faces. We talk with expert blackwater divers to find out what it's like to venture into the open ocean at night, when deep sea species rise from the depths to feed. How do they capture such remarkable photographs in such challenging conditions? What are some of their favourite species to encounter? What is it like to see bioluminescence in person and how is this related to science and the discovery of new species? Whether you're a pro-diver yourself or prefer to stay dry, this episode is jam-packed with interesting stories and insights into this poorly understood environment.

With the professor momentarily pinned down in Perth, we thought it would be the ideal moment for him to talk to us all about his local waters, the great Australian deep sea. Did you know that 70% of Australian waters are deeper than 1000m? Now that's a lot of deep sea! We hear from the Minderoo-UWA Deep Sea Research Centre's deputy director, Dr Todd Bond about the huge array of marine geographical features and biodiversity in Australia's waters. Plus, Alan clears up some ongoing Australian-isms that have left him confused. We also check in with our resident squid expert - Dr Kat Bolstad after the highly anticipated Squidtember comes to a close. Did you vote for your favourite squid, and if so, how did they score? We reckon Alan's recent videos from the Tonga Trench (that he teased last episode) might've had a subtle influence… Thanks again for tuning in, we'll deep-see you next time! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Support us by becoming a patron and joining our deep-sea community!

Te Papa is going to start charging a $35 entry fee for international tourists starting next month. The national museum says it's because rising energy costs, insurance and paying staff is all becoming too expensive. The move's expected to bring in an additional $5-$10 million per year. Te Papa spokesperson Kate Camp told Heather du Plessis-Allan it will be good value for visitors.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To finish off our cartilaginous fish mini-series, we're getting into our personal favourite: the chimera. These little oddballs are closely related to sharks and rays but often go unmentioned. They are full of intriguing quirks, from lacking a stomach to possessing a reproductive appendage on their head! We speak with Dr Brit Finucci from NIWA, a lover of deep water sharks and champion kicker of heads (she is also a competitive Muay Thai fighter) all about these fascinating fishes and why they are so interesting. We also speak with Leo Richards from Natural World Facts about his journey into making deep sea documentaries. If you have ever searched for deep-sea videos online, then you will have definitely come across Leo's content, as his captivating way of sharing the deep-sea has reached millions of people. Talking about high-quality content, The Professor has been joined offshore by a team of filmmakers, ready to capture the latest in hadal research. So expect some highly professional footage to come out in the next few weeks! Finally, Andrew talks us through some physical features of the Chimera, including its pretty hefty defensive spine and some gnarly stories about things getting impaled.   Thanks again for tuning in, we'll deep-see you next time! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Support us by becoming a patron and joining our deep-sea community!

We're back on the elasmobranch train with our latest episode all about deep-sea sharks! We speak with Justin Cordova, co-founder and deputy director of The Rogue Shark Lab all about the fascinating world of deep-sea sharks! What makes them different from their shallow-water relatives? Why do their eyes glow green? How exactly do you get into a career in deep-sea shark research? The Professor is trapped in paradise (somewhere in Fiji) whilst he quarantines before his next big offshore expedition. But he's not alone - alongside his new pal Roger (the guard gecko) he's quarantining with deep-sea celebrity, Jason 'J-Rod' Rodriguez. The famed SuBastian ROV pilot is joining Alan on this next leg of the expedition to the Tonga Trench. Make sure you're following us to hear all of the updates in our next episode! Andrew is back from his travels and was just as excited about our Lake Baikal episode as us!

The Wellington region goes into Covid-19 alert level 2 restrictions from 6pm on Wednesday. Among those rules are: social distancing, no gatherings over 100, strict rules for hospitality venues and face masks where possible. Schools and childcare centres are still open. The shift in levels comes after a tourist from Australia who was probably infected with Covid-19 at the time, visited a bunch of popular hotspots. The list includes multiple cafes, a packed bar, Te Papa Museum, a supermarket, book store, hotel and chemist. The full list is on the Ministry of Health website. Thousands of close contacts are now self-isolating for between five and 14 days, as well as getting tested. The man who tested positive after returning to Sydney on Monday works at a health centre in Bondi, the epicentre of the latest community outbreak there. It has since been discovered a person infected with Covid-19 had been at that centre. In New Zealand, four close contacts of the tourist have so far all tested negative. Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins talks through the latest with Lisa Owen.

Der letzte Teil unseres Roadtrips über Neuseelands Nordinsel führt uns von Taupo am Lake Taupo bis an die Südspitze in die Hauptstadt Wellington. Fast etwas wehmütig schauen wir an den letzten Tagen unserer Reise während der Fahrt aus dem Fenster. Trotzdem kam uns der gesamte Roadtrip länger vor, weil wir so viele verschiedene Orte, Seen, Flüsse, Strände und zwei Ozeane gesehen haben. Wir sind vom nordwestlichsten Punkt Cape Reinga bis zum südlichsten Punkt Wellington gefahren, haben zahlreiche Urlauber, Backpacker, Aussteiger, Hippies, Lebenskünstler, Straßenmusiker und noch viel mehr beeindruckende Menschen getroffen.Unser Fazit: Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder und dann mit viel mehr Zeit im Gepäck Taupo am Lake TaupoTaupo ist ein traumhafter Ort am größten Kratersee Neuseelands, der vor etwa 2.000 Jahren wegen eines Vulkanausbruchs entstanden ist. Das Städtchen ist perfekt für einen gechillten Tag am See. Du kannst dort auch in vielen kleinen Läden Souvenirs kaufen, sehr gut essen gehen und in der Umgebung extrem viel machen. Wir waren zum Beispiel bei den Craters of the Moon, einer mondartigen Landschaft und den Huka Falls, der meistbesuchten Attraktion Neuseelands. Beides liegt gerade einmal zwei Kilometer nördlich von Taupo.Taumata – der Hügel mit dem längsten Namen der WeltDort hatten wir einen kleinen Zwischenstopp und ich glaube, dass jeder Neuseeland-Tourist da mal vorbeifährt und versucht, den Namen vorzulesen. Wie viele Buchstaben er hat, kannst du raten, wenn du den Beitrag gehört hast. Aber nicht schummeln und vorher googeln Wir sagen einfach Taumata. So wird der Name abgekürzt und das ist ja auch viel leichter.Wellington, die coolste kleine Hauptstadt der WeltSo wird Wellington völlig zu Recht genannt. Die Hauptstadt Neuseelands vereint alternativen Lebensstil mit vielen modernen Plätzen und Orten in der Stadt. Du findest ganz viel Action und Trubel und genauso Ruhe und Frieden. Nur zehn Minuten von der City bist du mit dem Auto schon am Meer. Urige Irish Pubs stehen neben modernen Gebäuden. Top-Restaurants findest du neben einem riesigen Food Court. Wenn du in Wellington bist, gehe ganz unbedingt ins Te Papa Museum. Hier erfährst du alles über Neuseelands Geschichte, über die Flora und Fauna und noch eine ganze Menge mehr. Und wenn du wie wir mit einem Sieben-Meter-Campervan reist, erkundige dich schon vorher nach einem geeigneten Parkplatz. Wellingtons Straßen sind recht eng. Dennoch ist die Stadt ein Traum und die Nacht verbringst du neben den rauschenden Wellen Das erfährst du in diesem Beitrag über Taupo, Taumata und WellingtonTaupo liegt in der Waikato-Region, zentral in der Mitte der neuseeländischen Nordinsel. Von hier aus kannst du zahlreiche Touren und Aktivitäten starten und die Stadt eignet sich prima zum Shoppen und Bummeln.Der Lake Taupo ist mit 622 km² Wasseroberfläche der größte Kratersee Neuseelands. Er entstand durch einen Vulkanausbruch vor etwa 2.000 Jahren.Nach dem Tongariro Alpine Crossing haben wir die Nacht im Lake Taupo Holiday ResortNur etwa zwei Kilometer von Taupo entfernt sind die Huka Falls (Neuseelands meistbesuchte Sehenswürdigkeit) und die Craters of the Moon. Beides lohnt sich.Der Lake Taupo hat eine größere Fläche als Singapur.Etwa 250 km südöstlich von Taupo findest du den Ort mit dem längsten Ortsnamen der Welt. Abgekürzt heißt er Taumata.Von hier aus liegt Wellington noch einmal etwa 230 km südwestlich. Kurz vor der neuseeländischen Hauptstadt haben wir auf dem Wellington’s Kiwi Holiday Park übernachtet.Wellington vereint alternativen Lebensstil mit modernen Elementen. Du kannst, wenn du mit der Cable Car zum Planetarium fährst, die ganze Stadt von oben sehen.Geh unbedingt ins Te Papa Museum und lerne auf eindrucksvolle Weise ganz viel über Geschichte, Flora und Fauna Neuseelands.Iss in einem der zahlreichen Irish Pubs – wir waren im Jack Hackett’s Irisch Pub – und unbedingt auch im Capital Market. Das ist ein Food Court im Stadtzentrum, wo du Essen aus fast jedem Land findest.Nur zehn Minuten mit dem Auto von der Stadt entfernt bist du am offenen Meer. Verbringe unbedingt mindestens eine Nacht in der Owhiro Bay ohne Handynetz und schlafe beim Rauschen der Wellen ein.Wir haben die erste Nacht auf dem Platz des Evans Bay Marina Parks Das liegt recht zentral, du kommst mit dem Bus leicht ins Zentrum und wieder zurück. Wenn du abends die City erkunden oder ausgehen willst, ist das ideal.Fahr unbedingt mit der Cable Car hoch zum Planetarium und genieße den Blick über die ganze Stadt.Was du außerdem über Taupo, Taumata und Wellington wissen solltest:Direkt bei den Huka Falls findest du auch die Huka Honey Hive.

PF Laurence is a New Zealand photographer, and on this occasion the museum was moving in New Zealand and had been closed down, and Laurence was allowed in behind the scenes to photograph the objects ‘in waiting’; to go into their new home in the Te Papa Museum [of New Zealand], which was later to open. And so this was a wonderful opportunity for him to have carte blanché with the collection, and this particular piece, with Laurence’s extraordinary eye for detail, using — and I’m not terribly technical here, but the plate that he uses in his camera is the size of the image. So it’s one of those old-fashioned things that weighs 90 or 100 pounds, however much, and you lug it around, and in this particular piece Laurence is meticulous in capturing, in this instance… In this particular piece it’s impossible to tell. The gaze of the birds is so intense and it’s so still; they’re so real; they’re there, and yet the grouping and the clustering is a museum thing. In other words, the power of the image transports you beyond what you know it to be into the possibility that these owls, these morporkes are there. They really do put an edge on me, and they really do make me feel quite ill… not ill, but quite on edge. And yet you know the scale of them is quite tiny, and they’re all clustered there, and so it’s been an interesting thing within the New Zealand connection which came through a meeting with Geoff Thompson, famously making corrugated cows, to start with. He was a great introduction to things New Zealand, and over the years I’ve been going back there and have developed quite strong links with artists there, and I just think Laurence is beautiful, not only in the setting up of the shot, but he did all his own development, to the point of killing himself in the dark with the various chemicals that he used. But the attention to detail and the care I find as mesmeric as the beauty of the image under his gaze. You know they are dead, and yet they are screaming out to you ‘I’m coming to get you’, you know… DH Exactly! PF ‘One false move and you’re gone’. And they are at that moment of becoming. They are at that moment. They are neither alive nor dead, they are really held in that thrall.
