Herzog and cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger go to Antarctica to meet people who live and work there, and to capture footage of the continent's unique locations. Herzog's voiceover narration explains that his film will not be a typical Antarctica film about "fluffy penguins", but will explore the dreams of the people and the landscape.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A poem of oddness and beauty. Herzog is like no other filmmaker, and to return to him is to be welcomed into a world vastly larger and more peculiar than the one around us. The underwater photography alone would make a film, but there is so much more.

[Herzog is] a filmmaker ideally suited to recognize and celebrate...deep irony.

The sky is relentlessly blue, the sun bright even in the thick of night. In this odd and unforgettable place, Herzog has made his own poetry.

Herzog is one of a kind. His new doc is an event you watch in awe as you marvel at its wonders.

Seemingly off-hand, cumulatively imposing, utterly masterful.
