Observations at 65° South

Beautifully shot, this documentary takes the audience on a journey with a group of dedicated and brave scientists to the Antarctica. Retracing the steps of a turn of the century Belgian expedition and using a sailboat, these new-age explorers make crucial observations about the environment and wildlife of this very remote part of the world. Beyond this, it looks at the lives of these scientists who have to life and work together under challenging circumstances. It's a very human story, told in a unique and intimate way that feels like you're a part of the team. Both moving and thought provoking.

A total waste of time... A bunch of young spoiled brats which were totally unprofessional during the footages. A lot of launghter during the documentary, nothing was taken seriously. The skipper gave the most scientific details of the expedition. For all the other ones was just a paid turistic trip, no actual facts or conclusions were provided. A lot of unnecessary details about their meals and, by the looks of it, their spare time spent there. One of the worst documentary seen on Netflix, which is quite a shame, as the expectations were high. Unfortunately, the BE government seems to have spent a fortune for some wannabe scientists...

An expedition which they admitted at the beginning, didn't have the support of some in the scientific community and 'others' ! .. Why not??? They were doing valid studies, and keeping tabs on the state of a pristine wilderness that we are wrecking.. It was very disappointing to see the mountain of trash left behind by a previous British expedition, which they at least tried to partially clean up ..shame on my country One can only assume any resistance to expeditions like this comes from those wishing to exploit Antarctica's resources when the ice departs...forgetting that IF the ice has gone the rest of our planet will be in terminal decline..and those resources will be of little use to anyone then!
