Land of Ice
Granted, when I bought this I did notice right away that the narrator was indeed not George Page, but, this DVD really held my attention. After reading and watching a good deal about the Shackleton Expedition, this program helped me fill in some missing pieces in my mind as to the kinds of unbelievable obstacles those that venture into this land of ice encounter. I am also someone who enjoys science, and this title was chalk full of scientific insights into this fascinating place that has a profound effect on earth's weather and climate in-as-much as the North Pole does. Really, quite interesting....
