Review of Antarctica: A Year on Ice (2013) by Paul D — 01 Feb 2016
Yes, it's visually stunning, and paints a magnificent portrait of the environment in Antarctica. But it goes beyond that, giving a glimpse into the harshness of life and the loneliness of working on the frozen continent.
As Anthony Powell, the creator of the film notes, the only way to truly understand is to spend a year on the ice, but this film does evoke deeply the experience of isolation, cold, storms, and such a small population to interact with, combined with the tedium of day-to-day work that most of us experience in our daily lives.
It also gives a sense of the beauty and unspoiled grandeur of Antarctica, with its clean air, shockingly loud silence, and extraordinary displays of natures wrath and beauty.
