Antarctica - Nature Video - DVD.

168 Minutes. NATURE takes you to the end of the earth--both above and below the surface! Program 1: The End of the Earth - Prepare yourself for a full blast of this fierce, remote, and astonishingly beautiful part of the earth that wreaked havoc on the legendary Shackleton Expedition, as well as other expeditions that ventured to Antarctica. You will look directly into the face of the Katabatic, the downward-sloping wind that decimates life, dictates the earth's weather, and sculpts beautifully massive forms in the ice and snow. Marvel as scientists and explorers alike brave the frightening conditions to uncover "the end of the earth." Program 2: Under Antarctic Ice - Beneath the surface of stunningly cold water, an abundance of lifeforms and icescapes can be found. Academy Award-winner Hilary Swank narrates encounters with jellyfish that have thirty-foot long tentacles, sponges the size of large mammals, killer whales, and more in this fascinating look at what lies in the ocean depths beneath the surface of one of the coldest continents on Earth.
