"South is a hugely important film. It’s the FIRST documentary feature ever made! It includes all this incredible footage of the crew, the "exotic" wildlife (PENGUINS!), scenes never seen before, both in terms of this famous story but just what Antarctica was like. It’s an incredible achievement."❤️

"This iconic watercolor cover was painted by Edward Wilson, the expedition’s chief scientist and a talented artist. It features the RRS Discovery, anchored in McMurdo Sound, backdropped by Mount Erebus emitting a plume of volcanic smoke. Emperor penguins stand in the foreground on the sea ice."❤️

"During Robert Falcon Scott’s first Antarctic expedition, Ernest Shackleton edited an illustrated magazine, the South Polar Times, to entertain the crew. Contributors would drop their anonymous essays & poems into a mahogany letterbox, and Shackleton composed each issue on a Remington typewriter."❤️

"Always with the penguins! We never seem to escape these fascinating flightless birds. I think the dogs are glad of the company." - Frank Hurley, the photographer for Sir Ernest Shackleton's Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914–1917).❤️

"Shackleton is a captivating account of the adventurer, his life, & his incredible leadership under the most extreme of circumstances. Written by polar adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes who followed in Shackleton's footsteps, he brings his own unique insights to bear on these infamous expeditions."❤️

"The other reason why the commingling of livestock & wildlife hasn't led to disease, is simply the livestock RARELY suffer from disease. The Falklands' geographic isolation helps prevent the introduction of exotic pathogens, plus the strict protocols to avoid contagion from abroad."❤️ - Modern Farmer

Interesting - "The commingling of livestock and wildlife has often led to devastating disease outbreaks as a result of pathogens jumping from one host species to another. But this has never been an issue in the Falklands because ruminants aren’t closely related to seabirds, penguins, or sea lions."❤️

The habitat-sharing arrangement seems to work well for all parties involved. “You’ll see sheep walking right through the middle of the penguin colony, and the penguins don’t even turn a head,” says Rendell, a Falkland Islands ranch owner.❤️

"Amazing & unreal photo by Mat Bell of Australian Geographic - He huddled in a Zodiac boat in icy waters off the Antarctic peninsula and waited patiently for an Adélie penguin to propel itself from the water to the safety of an iceberg. He captured this penguin in an almost levatational-like state."

"A lonely iceberg floats on the Antarctic Channel, its gate-like ice entrance welcomes, a kind of homecoming perhaps: We sprang from nature, and now we might reenter into it. “We must not have the pretention that we are the only rational animal on the planet,” Salgado said."

“The amazing photographer, Sebastião Salgado, in his epic project, “Genesis” set out to capture Antarctica’s breathtaking beauty and he succeeded beyond even his own high expectations. Deception Island with its concealed hot springs is favored by Chinstrap Penguins."
