Directed by Luc Jacquet et Jerome Maison, France 2005 52 min. While marching and belly-flopping to their own drummer, Antarctica's Emperor Penguins had company. This documentary film follows a production crew during the nine dark months it filmed the remarkable lives of those penguins in their austerely magnificent world.
Ice Island
Directed by Wes Skiles
USA 2003 58 min.
When the world's largest iceberg calved off Antarctica in early 2000, marine biologist Greg Stone and photographer Wes Skiles saw it as an invitation. Assembling a team of scientists, explorers, sailors and a helicopter pilot, they set off on the intrepid little Braveheart for the Southern Ocean to find and study this anomaly.
Ice Island is a high-definition film that documents a New England Aquarium expedition to make contact with this huge piece of ice. With numb limbs and chilled bones, the team goes where no one has gone before, diving deep under the ice, to find out what giant melting icebergs mean in the context of 21st Century global warming.
