Filmmaker Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man), accompanied only by his cameraman, travels to the Antarctic community of McMurdo Station, the hub of the US Antarctic programme, and into the heart of one of the most remote places on earth. Over the course of his journey, Herzog examines human nature and Mother Nature, juxtaposing breathtaking locations with the profound, surreal and often absurd experiences of the marine biologists, physicists, plumbers, and truck drivers who form this unique community.

Trailer
Film-maker Werner Herzog takes us on a spectacular journey through Antarctica, documenting the vast array of creatures, people and landscapes he encounters.-
It's a thoroughly intelligent, worthwhile and tremendous-looking film.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian -
Seemingly off-hand, cumulatively imposing, utterly masterful.
Trevor Johnston, TimeOut London -
Werner Herzog's documentary shows there is more to life in the South Pole than plucky penguins.
Jonathan Romney, The Independent
