Interesting companion to Nanook of the North. Here, the focus is more difficult to maintain: it's ostensibly about the Scott expedition to the South Pole, but there's relatively little in the movie about the expedition itself. Logistics, organization, etc. are given short shrift, especially at the end, I'm guessing because Ponting didn't accompany the expeditions themselves. Instead, we spend a lot of time learning about the various animals encountered (the man REALLY loves to anthropomorphize penguins) and the overall effect of the film is like when your great-uncle makes you watch a boring slideshow of his last vacation. Incredible footage at times, but not a compelling film experience.
