Gombessa Expedition - The Mystery of the Cape Corsica Rings

Gombessa Expedition - Andromède Océanologie

The Mystery of the Cape Corsica Rings

Communication about the Gombessa expedition through video and drawing. This is a 3-year expedition led by Laurent Ballesta and his team of scientific divers from Andromède Océanologie. Thousands of coralligenous rings, about twenty meters wide, were discovered at a depth of 120m off Cape Corsica. What are they doing here? How were they formed? How old are they? What biodiversity is associated with them?

To complement the 90-minute documentary produced by Arte, episodes and a comic book were created.
