| Expedition > BAHAMAS
|
The Bahamas are an archipelago of more than 700 isles and 2000 coral
reefs to the northeast of Cuba. Nowhere in the Caribbean are the boundaries
between land and ocean as blurred as here: a large part of the land
lies only just above the water surface. Many of the curiously shaped
islands can suddenly be split midways by waterways only a few centimetres
deep and are henceforth counted as two separate islands, and the sea
gradually recaptures atolls and lagoons.
The shallows, the widespread coral reef systems or “Cays”,
and the legendary “Blue Holes” make the Bahamas a diver’s
paradise. The team of the ALDEBARAN will mainly be filming the trusting
spotted dolphins commonly found there.
