About this episode

This episode explores the journey of a rare turtle, a record-breaking hydrogen supercar, and the mystery of Stonehenge, along with insights into grizzly bear fat accumulation and eyeball mechanics.

Welcome to Science Quest ! 🚀 This week, we are following a rare turtle's epic transatlantic flight back home, checking out a record-smashing hydrogen supercar, and solving a ancient mystery about how a six-tonne boulder hitched a ride on a giant glacier! 🐢 The Transatlantic Turtle Flight: A rare, lost turtle found washed up on a cold Welsh beach has just been flown thousands of miles back home to the warm waters of Mexico! Discover how marine rescue teams nursed this oceanic traveler back to health and prepped it for its high-flying journey. ⚡ Record-Breaking Hydrogen Power: Speed alert! A British driver has just shattered a land speed record driving a high-tech vehicle powered entirely by hydrogen fuel! Find out how zero-emission hydrogen gas can generate mind-blowing speed without producing a single drop of pollution. 🗿 The Glacier Highway: Remy Veness from Sheffield Hallam University joins Dan to unpack a wild new theory about Stonehenge. How did a massive six-tonne stone travel hundreds of miles from Scotland all the way to southern England thousands of years ago? It might not have been dragged by humans—it might have hitched a ride on a creeping prehistoric glacier…
