Who went to Antarctica? What brought them to Antarctica?

Unlike Australia in the 18th century, the exile and gold rush of England's thieves and robbers, Antarctica in the 21st century is a destination for the spiritual journey of

visionaries from all over the world; Scientists, linguists, filmmakers, travelers, former NGO employees, Inca royalty and more, the diversity is amazing;

"...when the first time I got down here, I sort of enjoyed the sensation of recognizing people with my tribal markings...hey, these are my people...";

here"...PhDs washing dishes, and you know, linguists on a continent with no languages, and that's sort of thing, it's great...";

This documentary about this land without the south may trigger us to rethink our universe, world, reality, future, life...;

"...through our eyes, the universe is perceiving itself; and through our ears, the universe is listening to its cosmic harmonies; and we are witnesses through which the universe becomes conscious of its glory and magnificence...";

although some of the narrations sounded inevitable, the director hopes The meaning conveyed is still well conveyed;

For me, the sound of the seals coming from under the ice caps like pink floyd music is magical.

Encounters at the End of the World quotes

  • Werner Herzog: It occurred to me that in the time that we spent with him in the greenhouse possibly three or four languages have died. In our efforts to preserve endangered species we seem to overlook something equally important. To me, it's a sign of a deeply disturbed civilization, where tree-huggers and whale-huggers in their weirdness are acceptable, while no one embraces the last speakers of a language.

  • Werner Herzog: For me, the best description of hunger is the description of bread. A poet said that once I think. For me, the best description of freedom is what you have in front of you. You're travelling a lot.
