| Heart of Antarctica
"...a great recap (of the team's) adventures and a good learning tool for children" -Jim Lovell, Apollo 13 Astronaut
- Imagine a place that is the coldest and harshest on earth, yet one of the most beautiful...
- Imagine a place that holds most of the world's fresh water supply, yet is the world's driest desert...
- Imagine a place that has never known war, that belongs to no country, that is dedicated to science and exploration...
- Imagine... that you're going there...
In January 1998, a group of spirited scientists, adventurers, and mountaineers visited a remote camp in interior antarctica. The newly published video Heart of Antarctica captures their experiences - adjusting to life at freezing level, climbing the tallest mountain on the continent (Mt. Vinson), searching for meteorites, testing new robot technology and even visiting the South Pole. Personal, entertaining and educational, Heart of Antarctica is a video to stimulate not only learning, but also imaginations.
