Antarctic Edge: 70° South

Review "There aren't many uncharted areas left on the globe, but 'Antarctic Edge: 70° South' takes viewers to a spot where surveying is so scarce that the destinations may diverge from their locations on a map. Exploring that terrain could mean getting caught in ice for a month. 'Antarctic Edge' illustrates its points effectively, providing vivid evidence of how shrinking ice at the South Pole affects climates across the globe." --Ben Kenigsberg, The New York Times "Beautifully filmed...exquisite, eye-popping cinematography. One of the most informative films shot in the polar regions since Robert Flaherty's groundbreaking epic 'Nanook of the North.' The breathtaking images of cavorting elephant seals, penguins pecking at camera lenses, humpbacks riding the waves, and, last but not least, the empty polar scenery, make the strongest case for protecting these species, waters, air and land imperiled by a climate change." --Earth Island Journal "Like an Imax film minus the giant screen, 'Antarctic Edge: 70° South' compellingly follows oceanographic scientists as they grapple with the escalating effects of climate change. Stirringly shot, intimately and vividly documented, it is a moving portrait of individuals who devote their lives to understanding the environmental shifts that all too soon might manifest themselves on our own altered shorelines." --Michael Rechtshaffen, Los Angeles Times Product Description A thrilling journey to one of the world's most perilous environments, Antarctic Edge: 70° South follows a team of world-class scientists as they explore the West Antarctic Peninsula. In the wake of evastating events like Superstorm Sandy and Hurricane Katrina, oceanographer Oscar Schofield teams up with a group of researchers in a race to understand climate change in the fastest warming place on earth. While navigating through 60-foot waves and dangerous icebergs, the team documents the stunning landscapes and seascapes of Antarctica, revealing the harsh conditions and significant challenges that scientists and explorers endure for months at a time.
