Blancpain recently announced the release of the documentary "The mysteries of Mont La Pérouse". This feature unveils a type of geological formations of vital importance to our ocean's biodiversity: seamounts. There are estimated to be several tens of thousands of these underwater mountains found throughout the world, however, only a few hundred of these formations have been studied. With the support of Blancpain, Laurent Ballesta has made his way around the seabed 160 km northwest of Reunion Island, to discover the secrets of Mont La Pérouse, which were still unknown to oceanographers. Through this project, Laurent Ballesta and Blancpain aim to raise public awareness of the importance of seamounts for the ocean's biodiversity and ecosystems, and thus of the need to preserve them.
