Poo-centric kayak adventure

A man who kayaked more than 2,000km in icy waters as part of a "poo-centric expedition" has hailed it a success despite the trip being cut short by bad weather.

Mike Keen, 54, from Suffolk, set off on 20 April paddling from Qaqortoq in the south heading north.
He collected poo samples from sea mammals to check microplastic levels and ate only a Greenlandic diet as part of a microbiome study.
He plans to finish the trip next year.

Luke Deal had a chat with Mike on his return to Suffolk, as Matt Marvel explains
