A great white shark called Lydia is about to make history as the first of its species to be seen crossing from one side of the Atlantic to the other.
The satellite-tagged 4.4m-long female is currently swimming above the mid-Atlantic ridge - which marks a rough boundary line between east and west.
Lydia was first tagged off Florida as part of the Ocearch scientific project. The shark has travelled more than 30,500km (19,000 miles) since the tracking device was attached.
