Ciné-conférence - L'Antarctique

Antarctica has always fed the imagination of the most ambitious explorers. Its climate is so extreme that man has never been able to settle there. And yet, the white continent has been the scene of some of mankind's greatest adventures.
The first explorers recounted their extraordinary expeditions, which can only be imagined. All were driven by the quest for achievement and the discovery of the unknown. It's a magnetic attraction that scientists and tourists still experience today, whether on a cruise or during the winter season. Through their encounters, we can glimpse the unspeakable: life on an immense, icy continent where extremes meet.
This inhospitable land pushes humankind beyond its physical and psychological limits, while offering daily wonder. It also promises new scientific discoveries that will help us better understand this fragile, virgin land.
A spectacular journey to the ends of the earth, revealing the splendors of a pristine sanctuary that must be preserved at all costs.
