Ocean Solutions from the University of Western Australia is concerned with the resources of the ocean and how we can use them to mitigate water and food scarcity, cope with climate change, and use them to source sustainable energy. Water: The Essential Resource from National Geographic is aimed at teachers (but is still interesting for the rest of us), and deals with ocean and freshwater ecosystems, water use and environmental stewardship. Our Earth: Its Climate, History and Processes from the University of Manchester is about earth as a system, shaped by its natural processes. The supplementary material is outstanding, and the course uses the work of scientists to tell stories that shed light on Arctic issues. Cape Agulhas lighthouse The ground floor of the Cape Agulhas lighthouse is devoted to a lighthouse museum and curio shop/tourist information centre. The museum is small, but well worth investigation if you’re a lighthouse buff. Display of historical lighthouse paraphernalia Entry to the museum is included in the lighthouse entrance fee. Owen Beattie is a Canadian forensic anthropologist (a real one ) who exhumed the bodies of three members of Franklin’s expedition who died and were buried on King William Island in the Arctic. View of L’Agulhas The lighthouse is open to the public (also on weekends, which is unusual for a South African lighthouse ) and contains a museum and a gift shop on the ground floor.
