Adventurer Lisa Blair is aiming to become the first woman to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Antarctica.

The Whale Song

Delve into the enchanting world of humpback whales and their remarkable ability to communicate through song. Narrated by renowned marine biologist Nan Hauser, we also join DJ Sam Feldt, who demonstrates the synergy between nature and art by using whale song to create a dance floor hit. A visually stunning short film celebrating the fusion of music and nature.
The Call of the Cold
