The narrator, Werner Herzog, with a strong German accent (yes, the director of “Little Dieter needs to fly”), takes a trip to this isolate virgin scientists paradise and looks like he falls in love with it. During the stay he manages to interview the small number of special chosen individuals dwelling there: some members of the scientists community, other handymen, other computer specialists. An amazing voyage into the Antarctica, an amazing beautiful, quite, dangerous, place filled with secrets ready to be revealed to the curious mind. Sometimes this place reminds you of the images we have of the moon. Fauna, flora, rocks, volcano, microorganisms, all of them are observed and studied. Each of the persons that live has his own attractive story. A trip into the unknown, I hope human predetermination does not disturb the true hiding behind all the special phenomena present in this awesome piece of our globe. It is amazing how after the great effort human put into exterminating all living creatures in this part of the world such as the seals, the latter don’t hold a grudge and collaborate. Score: 6.
