In 'Around the North Sea', Arnout Hauben sets off on a five thousand kilometer journey around the North Sea together with Philippe Niclaes and Ruben Callens. He goes in search of the rich history of that sea and collects surprising stories that have taken place on and around the water. Arnout tells stories from the ice age and prehistory, about the arrival of the Vikings and fateful super storms and about new ideas, merchandise and diseases that have spread through the North Sea.
