Antarctica: Ice & Sky

About This Movie

Antarctica: Ice & Sky is a contemplative dive into the life and work of Claude Lorius, a pioneering glaciologist. It’s not just about ice; it’s about a personal journey through decades of research, all set against the stark, breathtaking backdrop of Antarctica. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to absorb the atmospheric beauty and the haunting reality of climate change. Luc Jacquet uses stunning visuals that capture the raw, unfiltered essence of the icy landscape. The film’s tone is reflective, almost somber, as it weaves in Lorius's early concerns about global warming. It’s a blend of science and philosophy, where the ice becomes a character in its own right, speaking to the past while warning us about the future.
