is in the cross hairs of climate change
and faces forever being swallowed
by the tide of a rising ocean?"

We are going to be undertaking a pretty big challenge on this trip. Aside from producing this episode from arguably one of the most remote places on the planet, we are going to be uploading regular video posts from the production front line to show viewers what is going down on Arno on a day-by-day basis. In order to upload video and blog updates from the days shoot, we will be doing regular shuttles from our production base on Arno Atoll (which has no internet access) back to Majuro (the main island) for a slow upload from one of the few internet connections available. Many of these 20km plus commutes will be done in a canoe powered by a 15hp outboard, this will definitely provide us with some perspective on internet access in the western world.
