Steven: | Hi. l'm Steven Kane. | want to tell you about my research into à cargo of
res ath-toys, lost at sea, which tud up in some unexpected places.
About twenly years ago, an American company ordered tiny thovsand
Plastic bath toys from a Chinese manufacturer, packed in sets of four: a green
frog, a red beaver, a classic yallow duck and a rather uncharacterisicaly blue
turtle; thase were dispatched by sea. But en route, a storm washed the cargo
(Overboera. and someno the container spit open, releasing the bat-toys to
float away on the waves.

So how dd | get nvolved? Im college lecturer but no! teaching anything
like economics or evan geography; media stuces is my fe. et my students
‘a vacallon project and one guy bases his on a TV program abou these ba
toys. It mado fascinating racing. Ever since, I've been tying t trace hor
temporary giving up my academic career 1 travel ne world inthe process

Every year since the accident, Balh-toys have turned up as far as Hawal
and Northern Europe, but fist appeared on the coast of Alaska where | began
my search. There | met peoplo whose hobby is beachcombing. They hac
hoards of batrtoys to show me, alorg with sneakers ~ part of another lost
Cargo ~ as well asthe regular flotsam and etsem discard by the cures.

‘Bul the amazing thing is, trough these discoveries tho ballrloys ha

information about les and circular currents, ocsanographers often release
a small numberof drift belle with messages inside to track where they
Tend bat here were thity-thousand objects to race and document, They've
provided information that's heon put into use right away inthe shipping

Twas having great fun, but some of ths ciminichad in Hawai, when | was
shown how the bath-toys lose thelr identity, n the mass of marine polutants

So! decided to invastigato clner aspects ofthe bath-toys'joumey.
and traveled to China in search of Ih factory, which | thought of as thelr
birthplace rather than ther place of manulaciure. Iwas able to track com not
only the bulling, but lso the machine they'd been mad en and the person
who's operated it

‘One final challenge was to follow the route of bath-toys to Europe vi the

Welcome to today’s programme, where I'm talking to scientists Jessica
Conway and Paul Flower about exploration and discovery, First ofall Jessica
{hese days surly everything on Earth has been discovered and mapped?

Absolutely not we've begun. You can use satelites to estimate the shape of
the landscape under the oceans, for example, but 8 only an estimate. In tne
Antarctic recent, investigating Undersea volcanoes, we found a crater in the
cn floor, about four klomelres across and well over one Klomelre desp
and it wasn't on any map. We had no idea it was thoro. And tht just amazee
me, because there's nowhere beyond the snorline where we can tip over
Such big geographical features thet we don’t already know about

And are you finding many new animal species around these underwater
centers?

Wel, as we get closer to finding everything out ther, ts going to ge
progressively harder lo find new species, but at the momen! there's no sign
ofthe rate ol discovery slackening of. The real question is just now mony
more new species there might be nero. AL least ono now spocies has boon
discovered every month over the thirty-five years we've been exploring deep-
sea craters — anc we've sil got plenty let to record,

So you'r clearly expocting to maka similar geographical finds olsewhere?

Sure, were going to be exolorng these sorts of features and comparing what
we find for quite some wile. There ae sil huge unexplored araas, so there'll
be lots to focus our mind on inthe coming decades, wth the aim of all of us
across diferent discipines building up a kind of gave puzzle ef what ex

You stil see great naves where there re no roads, no vileges, no permanent

need for development. Im obviously Kean to explore uncharted tertory but

Hall. My name's Mike Darby and I'm here to talk about my work as a
wildlife photographor and cameraman. So what docs it take to make tin this
profession? It helps to be a graduate, and photography degree courses are
now commen, allhough that wasn’t always the case. Older photographers |
work with often got into pholograp as a career via a dilleren! study route
One cid a degree in fine ar, others ld modin studios quite a fow actually,
‘whereas | graduated in Marine Biology

I started out as a commercial cer = also ran a diving school for a while,
before going en to diva in the Antarctic for a research station. It was there that

really started taking photographs underwater. At that point something clicked,
à found my vocation, so set up my own business as a photographer.

‘And | socn ciscovered that just being able to take a good picture isnt
enough - a strong business sense is also essential, epecially a flair for
marketing, and sound acministratve elle come In useful, as doos tho ablty
to handle your ov accounts.

IT you end up working fresiance Ike me, though, its good to keep lots of
different things on the go. I've just done a shoot for a travel company. | got
that tad up in four days and they kept al tae pictures. À large wiclifo book,
however, star to finish, could take up to two years, For something Ike that,
I'd expect to Lake hundreds of photos, only a few of which would end up
boing accepted by the publisher. ut the rest don't go to waste - a magazine
bought some unused ones recently. On the whole though, | sel ner via à
website, which sell them on to other people.

‘As forthe books, I've actually done a number over the years. A South African
Paradise has sol the best ~ i's now ints fh ropint. But tho ono that gives me
most personal satisfaction is Awesome Animals, which did jeinty vith my ve.
That's the real deal. And then there's Underwater with Pike... never Ikod the
the, But It does give you a good idea of my work over the past four years.

‘Obviously, for me, one trl’s been broadening out into TV, doing work as a
cameraman, Like, at the end of last year, | fimed stingraysin the
for a series Iha be on later this year. Before that I'é been filming all sors of
dolphins in Florida. And Ive actualy just fnished filming various species of
share. That took me to the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean and tne Pace.

The TV work i a bi diferent from the other stuff do. It's rather more
buckstage because you're just a name on the credits at tho end ofthe
programme, whoro2s with the books you've got a whola ttle to your name,
‘But wit the industry Is til cons dered high-profile work.

Now, one thing | haven't done, but which many aspiring young
photographers try, is taking film or sil pictures, and then thinking up slogans,
And then trying to sell bath together. This can be a good way into the
profession, as it gets your name known.

Helo, my guests today are Anton Bas! and Kirsten Nest and we're going to

they can actually absorb in practice. And though i's templing to think of i as
e modern phenomenon, | belive that may not really be the case, right Anton?

‘Well ine Roman ohilesopher Seneca actualy articulated the problem

accepting of play for adults as a legitimate pastime. But the thing is trat mos
zumos aro playad on screens. In a word where everything appears to be
mediated through an electron device of some kind, there's a growing desire
to Put games back on the living roam table.

Ane Ed, what do you think this century holds for game-playing?

Digital technology can bo isolating, despite socal nolworks and emailing

passively watching tolavision sloves. Board games let us play directly with

ls this phenomenon tha same the word over?

n parts of Europe board games are integral to the culture - people
