Expedition Pursues Secrets of
Clipperton Island
To
compare him to Charles Darwin or
Alexander von Humboldt might be
too much. But French explorer
Jean-Louis Etienne is proposing
an effort similar to these
giants as he heads to Clipperton,
a tiny Pacific island 1,300 km
southwest of the Mexican resort
of Acapulco.
Beginning Dec. 7, Etienne will
spend four months on Clipperton
with some 40 other experts from
France's National Centre for
Scientific Research (CNRS),
among them biologists,
geologists, divers,
ornithologists and computer
technologists.
Their task is to conduct an
exhaustive inventory, a
first-ever classification of the
local flora and fauna -- as
Darwin did in the Galápagos
Islands, and Humboldt in the
Andes. more
