DeepSea Under the Pole by Rolex was a revolutionary pioneer expedition and an innovative human adventure that combined ski trekking and scuba diving in one of the toughest climates on the planet: the North Pole. The crew of eight young, passionate divers, adventurers and explorers represented the first time man has ever executed dives at this remote site and revealed the hidden side of the polar ice cap; something never before seen by humankind.

This is a documentary about the expedition of Sebastien Roubinet et Rodolphe André who have decided to cross the Arctic Ocean from Alaska to the Norwegian islands of Spitsbergen, via the geographic North Pole! For this, Sébastien Roubinet has invented a strange little boat "TiBabouche" capable of sailing on sea and on ice. This boat is a prototype brimming with technology and science, made-up by Hervé Le Goff, a CNRS engineer. It will allow Hervé to calibrate the satellite “Cryosat”, the first one capable of measuring the thickness of ice.

To be the first in history of mankind to take a sailing vessel to the Pole. One of the greatest maritime adventures ever undertaken: to cross the Arctic Ocean from one Land to the Other without assistance.

Bears and the hitherto unexplained mechanisms of their organism (such as hibernation) are the focus of medical research. As humans and bears are genetically very similar, scientists hope that more detailed research will lead to a breakthrough in the fight against widespread ailments. Can human medicine really learn from bears?
