Timeshift

Why has Antarctica, the most inhospitable place on the planet, exerted such a powerful hold on the imagination of explorers, scientists, writers and photographers. From the logbooks of Captain Cook to the diaries of Scott and Shackleton, from the Rime of the Ancient Mariner to HP Lovecraft, it's a film about real and imaginary tales of adventure, romance and tragedy.
