The world’s largest airship temporarily parked at Scholes International Airport in Galveston as it is flying coast-to-coast across the U.S. on a month-long expedition for the BBC Two series Cloud Lab. The team, which includes an entomologist, meteorologist and professional explorer, is also hoping to shed light on the creation of clouds and the relationship between diverse ecosystems and weather.
