Synopsis

Bear Island

Three brothers wish to surf waves no one has surfed before them. The answer is to go to Bjørnøya, the island next to the better known Spitsbergen. For two months they live on the island, self sufficient in food and equipment.

Wonders of the Sea

The ocean depths are explored with the aid of a submarine chamber of Williamson's invention and a few hardy souls. The construction of the device is examined; but most of the footage is given to plant and animal life, a girl swimming among the coral growths, and two divers who encounter a moray and an octopus.
