Encore: Bringing back some of the hottest documentaries for an encore presentation.
Antarctica: A Year on Ice is a visually stunning journey
to the end of the world featuring the hardy and devoted
people who live there year-round. The research stations
scattered throughout Antarctica host a close-knit
international population of scientists, technicians and
craftsmen. Isolated from the rest of the world, residents
endure months of unending darkness followed by
periods when the sun never sets. They also experience
the beauty and brutality of the most severe environment
on Earth. Capturing epic battles against storms and
the quiet reveries of nature’s grandeur, this unique
documentary shines a light on a steadfast community
thriving in a land few humans have experienced.
Using specially modified cameras and spectacular
time-lapse photography, Antarctica: A Year on Ice gives
testament to humanity’s thirst for adventure while
exploring the extremes that accompany a year within
the last pristine wilderness on the globe.
