ANTARCTICA.ORG
Michel De Wouters, Belgium, 1999, 55’, col, video

The documentary, filmed mainly by Alain Hubert and Dixie Dansercoer themselves, takes us across the frozen wastes of the Antarctica in a 2,400-mile adventure.

Following the usual preparations for the expedition, various checks and approach routes, the long journey on foot begins on skis and, weather permitting, power kites; it lasts 99 days, in an extreme environment and the scenes faithfully reflect the inner thoughts of the two explorers during the various difficulties encountered.
