July 16 - Watch Extreme Science with Philippe Cousteau on CNN International
In the one-hour documentary program Extreme Science, Philippe Cousteau will take viewers to one of the coldest places on earth, the Arctic, to explore the significance of the science studied in extreme conditions.

Wake-up Call
