"Meet at the End of the World"

Werner Herzog's original intention of shooting this film feels as unclear as the original intention of human beings to explore Antarctica for the first time. It is not adventure exploration, scientific and environmental protection...

The film brings too many things, not lack of beauty, Interesting people and things, but the whole tone is a slightly boring sense of continuation, even a sense of powerlessness in the last days, maybe this is life, no matter who you are? Where?

Herzog is still obsessively recording at nearly 70 years old.

Encounters at the End of the World quotes

  • Doug MacAyeal: Unlike Scott and Shackleton, who viewed the ice as this sort of static monster that had to be crossed to get to the South Pole, we scientists now are able to see the ice as a dynamic living entity that is sort of producing change, like the icebergs that I study. For me it's been a wild wide. First of all I found out that the iceberg that I came down to study not only was larger than the iceberg that sank the Titanic, it was not only larger than the Titanic itself, but it was larger than the country that built the Titanic. That's pretty big.

  • Werner Herzog: McMurdo has climate-controlled housing facilities, its own radio station, a bowling alley, and abominations such as an aerobic studio and yoga classes. It even has an ATM machine.
