- Synopsis:
The birth of film coincided with the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration. Here, together for the first time, are the films of the great explorers Roald Amundsen, Nobu Shirase, Sir Douglas Mawson and Sir Ernest Shackleton, whose stories, together with those of Robert Falcon Scott (see the BFI's 'The Great White Silence') are of extraordinary human endurance and our relationship with the natural world, seen in dramatic moving images.
