Antarctic Edge: 70° South
Gorgeous cinematography and landscapes dominate this educational, fascinating, disturbing, 72-minute documentary in which twenty-two scientists, including microbial ecologist Hugh Ducklow, biologist oceanographer Oscar Schofield, physical oceanographer Doug Martinson, zooplankton ecologist Debbie Steinberg, marine biologists Brandon Conroy and Joe Cope, and seabird ecologists Donna Fraser, Shawn Farry, and Jen Mannas spent six weeks traveling from the Palmer Station, to Humble Island, and finally to Charcot Island near the western Antarctic peninsula studying the sea ice ecosystem, including the warming of sea current and everything from bacteria, plankton, krill, penguins, humpback whales, and leopard and elephant seals, and its effect on climate change around the world.
