The Antarctica Challenge - A Global Warning
Public viewing rights for purchase or rent • 52m
Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, highest, and driest continent on earth. However, events are unfolding here that may spell disaster for the rest of the world. Glaciers are melting at a rapid rate and threatening to flood the world’s oceans, penguins are walking to their death in inexplicable suicide marches, seals are going blind, starfish are infertile, and some creatures are facing possible extinction. Is this an irreversible environmental change or can the global community work together to save our planet?
Decorated polar explorer and award-winning documentary filmmaker leads an expedition to Antarctica during International Polar Year (2007-2009) to report on the research being done by the world’s scientific community. What he discovers was tabled at the United Nations climate summit – COP15 – in Copenhagen in 2009.
