I’ve been obsessed with Antarctica since I was a kid. Growing up in New Zealand, the race to the South Pole is mythologized like the U.S.-Soviet race to the moon — two explorers, one British, one Norwegian, locked in a breathless, romantic fight for national honor. I always rooted for Robert Falcon Scott, the British officer, poring over his grim diaries. I inhaled the frostbite, the deaths, and then, upon arrival at the Pole, the discovery of his rival’s flag, planted 34 days before. I lived in a warm city,...

We're now into the season that really should be known as Listmas, where everyone is compiling lists of their top 10s of 2011. But there is plenty of fine, less showy work being done, even behind the scenes, that often doesn't get the credit it deserves. So here's a shout out and a thank you to those in the DVD/Blu-ray medium who have made staying in as much fun as going out.

The Great White Silence

The rest of the expedition is portrayed using his eerie and poignant footage of Scott, Oates, et al,...

Herbert Ponting's 1924 film The Great White Silence is a fantastic true account of Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated 1910-13 expedition to reach the South Pole. Accompanying the expedition, Ponting captured probably the first ever footage of the alien terrain and wildlife of Antarctica, presenting it with a keen documentarian's eye as well as surprisingly witty commentary on the numerous intertitles. The first half of Ponting's feature-length document plays much like a nature film, capturing the day to day life of seals, seagulls and penguins, among others. Unlike the wildlife documentaries of today, the filmmakers and other members of the expedition frequently invade the frame and openly disrupt the natural order of events. Ponting confesses a number of times to scaring off seagulls and penguins in...
