Encounters At The End Of The World

Herzog received permission to film in Antarctica under the National Science Foundation's Antarctic Artists and Writers Program. But instead of celebrating heroic explorers or climate statistics, he descends into the McMurdo Station—a gritty, functional outpost of 1,000 people—and then ventures deeper into the continent's interior. His goal? To meet the "professional dreamers": the plumbers, philosophers, linguists, and biologists who have fled civilization for the most desolate place on Earth.

A scientist likens elusive neutrinos to spirits, and researchers listen to sounds under the ice like "Russian mystics". Encounters at the End of the World
