Overview

Herzog and cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger go to Antarctica to meet people who live and work there, and to capture footage of the continent's unique locations. Herzog's voiceover narration explains that his film will not be a typical Antarctica film about "fluffy penguins", but will explore the dreams of the people and the landscape.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A meditative journey into the continent's extreme remoteness and the obsessive dreams of those drawn to its end, where Herzog's philosophical narration transforms landscape and human psychology into something stranger and more profound than typical nature documentary.
