The Crystal Ocean
Synopsis:
Every year, the seas surrounding Antarctica undergo the planet's greatest environmental event. As winter's long freeze turns to polar summer, icebergs break free to be sculpted into surreal forms by wind and water. This is a compelling and visually stunning portrait of the freeze and thaw cycle in the most extreme environment on earth.
