End will not happen on any arbitrary date like December 2012. The end of the universe has been designed into the laws of the universe by the creator. The contraction of the universe will commence the beginning of the end which will last for thousands and possibly millions of years. We will however be gone far before that time removed from the dying universe. To find out how all that will happen go to the nest page.

All the more deceptive for the amount of people it has reached. Antarctica is a great place. Lots of people work there. But watching the film you’d think they were all Americans with huge egos who think that they are predestined to be there (except for one or two geologists who seem to have their feet on the ground). Going to exclusively American bases when more than 40 countries operate in some way down there is misleading when trying to characterize how people interact with that environment. I worked down there for a different organization which took me to bases run by four different countries none of which were American. They all had different cultures but nowhere was there the same egotism or scrounging for meaning as in Herzog’s film.

I live in America and when I first got down to Antarctica I would try to shoe-horn my experience into the narratives and photographic essays which I had read about and which impelled me to seek adventure down there in the first place. In fact my early photos are a mimicry of what I thought I would find.

I sifted experiences validating those which resonated with mainstream adventure culture: inventing deeper meaning in the solitudes which I found. Upon arriving on one of Antarctica’s ice shelves one of the first things I did after mooring was drive 5km inland with a colleague and friend of mine and tried to imbue the ageless longing that had been gleaned by previous explorers. But if I was honest with myself, I was disappointed to see a mass of ice which was large and flat and much like looking at a barren stretch of useless land. Over 15 months I came to love that place; but for what it was, not what I wanted it to be.

It seems like the interviewees in Herzog’s film were forcing their experiences into what they thought they might find or into the great adventure narratives of those who came many years before them, or into something that just sounded cool. It seemed like they were not actually approaching the place with any degree of humility.

In short I would be embarrassed if that film represented me. With no indication that other countries operate down there and that the characters in that film are the only inhabitants, people will assume that it does represent me. I have yet to find a review which questions the premise and calls half-cocked documentertainment film what it is.

I’ve been waiting for the trailer, so thanks. This was actually the closing night selection at the MSPIFF (http://getafilm.blogspot.com/2008/05/on-horizon-encounters-at-end-of-world.html). There is one sequence underwater that I will literally never forget.
