(Werner Herzog, US 2007, 99 min.)

Filmmaker and adventurer Werner Herzog takes his camera to perhaps the most remote part of the planet, Antarctica. Joining the community at the McMurdo Station at the South Pole, Herzog photographs forbidden locations such as the under-ice depths of the Ross Sea to the brink of the Mount Erebus volcano. A perfectly witty and sardonic travel guide, Herzog’s marvelous narration is surpassed by his stunning images of a practically science-fiction landscape that demands to be seen on a big screen.
