It’s UN World Oceans Day! Thank you for celebrating with us!
At 12:00 PM PST / 1:00 PM MST, we’ll premiere a powerful short film introducing Ross Edgley’s Great Icelandic Swim, a world-first expedition to swim over 1,000 miles around the coast of Iceland, blending endurance, science, and storytelling to inspire ocean protection.
Right after the film, stay tuned for a discussion hosted by Alan Donnelly of CJSR Radio, featuring some of the scientists, creatives, and partners behind this extraordinary journey.
Plus, you’ll get an exclusive first look at our upcoming 4-part video podcast, packed with behind-the-scenes footage, expert insights, and untold stories from the expedition.
