In a remote corner of the world lies the German research facility, Neumayer Station III. Here, scientists brave extreme conditions, harsh weather, and isolation to study the impacts of climate change on the planet.
Journalist Matthias Ebert brings us an intimate look into the daily lives of these valiant individuals, their research on the melting Antarctic ice, and its potential impact on global sea levels. But that’s not all, as he takes us on a journey to discover how a vast colony of emperor penguins living close to the facility are adapting to the changing climate. The film depicts the researchers’ trials, triumphs, and how they maintain their sanity in the face of extreme conditions. This documentary explains the importance of the research conducted by these scientific pioneers, and how it’s critical to our understanding of the world around us.
