Editorial Reviews

Werner Herzog, director of such acclaimed documentaries as Grizzly Man and Little Dieter Needs to Fly, offers his unique perspective on the South Pole in this film profiling the Antarctic community of McMurdo Station. Located on Ross Island, McMurdo Station is the headquarters of the National Science Foundation. Whether offering a detailed study of the unique survival training regimen that newcomers to McMurdo are obligated to endure or pondering the majestic beauty of a landscape where the discovery of three new species in a single day is something worth truly celebrating, Herzog boldly offers viewers the opportunity to visit one of the most inaccessible and awe-inspiring landscapes on the planet.

February 09, 2009: I'm not a big fan of theatrical films, but Werner's documentaries are great. He finds the most remarkable characters to film, and his viewpoint is always unique. The scientists in this film are quite a group, and their take on the long-term survival of humans is sobering. The commentary track is a must to hear...great stuff
