En el inhóspito y fascinante paisaje del sur de la Antártida, durante el verano austral, un grupo de hombres y mujeres se une en el ambicioso proyecto McMurdo, con el sueño compartido de comprender el origen de nuestro planeta. Este documental, dirigido por el aclamado Werner Herzog, conocido por obras como "Grizzly Man" y "Fitzcarraldo", nos invita a adentrarnos en este remoto lugar, donde la belleza y la desolación coexisten en perfecta armonía. Acompañado solo por un camarógrafo, Herzog se convierte en un observador privilegiado de la vida cotidiana en esta estación de investigación, revelando las historias de sus habitantes, desde biólogos hasta conductores de camión, quienes enfrentan las duras condiciones del entorno mientras forjan lazos inesperados entre ellos y con la naturaleza. La obra no solo se adentra en las complejidades científicas del proyecto, sino que también explora la experiencia humana en uno de los lugares más extremos del planeta. A través de este relato visual, Herzog nos invita a reflexionar sobre nuestro lugar en el mundo y la conexión que compartimos con la Tierra. No te pierdas esta oportunidad de conocer la historia detrás del proyecto McMurdo y cómo sus participantes buscan desentrañar los secretos del pasado del planeta.

03:29I left no doubt that I would not come up with another film about penguins.
03:34My questions about nature, I let them know, were different.
03:40I told them, I kept wondering, why is it that human beings put on masks or feathers to conceal
03:51their identity?
03:51And why do they saddle horses and feel the urge to chase the bad guy?
03:59And why is it that certain species of ants keep flocks of plant lice as slaves to milk them
04:13for droplets of sugar?
04:15I asked them, why is it that a sophisticated animal like a chimp does not utilize inferior creatures?
04:25He could straddle a goat and ride off into the sunset.
04:30Despite my odd questions, I found myself landing on the ice runway at McMurdo.
04:47For most of the austral spring and summer, which lasts from October through February, planes can land on the eight-foot-thick ice of the Ross Sea.
05:01In the distance, the mountains of the trans-antarctic range, McMurdo itself is situated on an island.
05:14The Ross Sea is the largest bay in the continent.
05:18This bay alone covers the size of the state of Texas.
05:35On this very same frozen ocean, the early explorers' ship got wedged into moving ice flows.
05:44Here, Shackleton's expedition evacuates their vessel, which would later come to ruin, leaving them stranded there.
06:04Everything in this expedition was doomed, including the first ancestor of the snowmobile.
06:11The idea was too big for the technical possibilities a hundred years ago.
06:17At that time, every step meant incredible hardship.
06:22The first thing that caught my eye upon landing was the humongous bus and its driver.
06:47We're clearing the apron now, thank you.
06:59Hey, you're welcome.
07:01This is Ivan the Terror Buster.
07:02One of seven in the world, weighs 67,000 pounds, and is the largest vehicle on the continent.
07:16What do you do when you're back home?
07:18Are you a taxi driver?
07:19I'm not a taxi driver at home.
07:21Before I came to Antarctica, I was actually a banker in Colorado.
07:25And after two years there, I changed my pace a little bit and decided to help the people of Guatemala.
07:32So I joined the Peace Course, and there I worked in small business development.
07:36Just realized that the world's not all about money.
07:40Where I lived in Guatemala was in the northern part.
07:43It's a Kekchi Mayan village, 99% Mayan, and therefore nobody spoke Spanish.
07:49I had to learn the Mayan dialect, Kekchi.
07:54When I first moved to Chisek, I was just out on a normal walk, and before I knew it, I had six people with machetes chasing me down, wanting to talk to me.
08:03Turns out, the little brother told them I was there to steal children.
08:07I was, however, not there to steal children.
08:10They took me back to my judge and jury.
08:13It was the 14-year-old boy in the town who could speak both Spanish and Kekchi.
08:18Luckily, they let me go, and we ended up being great friends over the two years.
08:24The jury acquitted you?
08:25I was acquitted.
08:26I made it out of there.
08:28But it could have been dangerous.
08:31It is.
08:32It is.
08:33And, you know, a story not too long ago is a lady was just taking a picture of a child and, you know, the same type of group of people with machetes.
08:40And she wasn't so fortunate.
08:42She didn't make it out.
08:43What happened to her?
08:44She was killed by machete.
08:51Approaching McMurdo Station, the largest American base, in fact the largest settlement in Antarctica.
08:59Right there is Captain Scott's hut, built in 1902.
09:04During the austral summer, about a thousand people live here experiencing a strange state.
09:11Five months of no night time.
09:16McMurdo serves as a logistical hub and provides fixed laboratory facilities for research.
09:25All the decisions about scientific projects are the domain of my host, the National Science Foundation.
09:33Day-to-day logistics are run by a defense contractor.
09:38I had been told by some disgruntled former inhabitants that they ran things in the spirit of a correctional facility.
09:46Actually, they were decent people, just too concerned for my personal safety.
09:59Of course, I did not expect pristine landscapes and men living in blissful harmony with fluffy penguins.
10:06But I was still surprised to find McMurdo looking like an ugly mining town filled with caterpillars and noisy construction cells.
10:16знаю, I'll be here to see.
10:18Hey, there's ka-laan on the island!
10:24Wait...
10:26I'm a saint-a-laan-laan-laan on the island.
10:29I think I have nothing to appreciate, but I've very, very much to be heard.
10:32I'll be here to see.
10:35Read the next video.
10:375-year-old army없ing children, I think I can do not sleep without any help.
10:40I'm only a fan of the world like this.
10:43¿Quién es la gente que conduce el vehículo de las máquinas y lo que les llevó a la Antártica?
10:58Es una historia muy larga.
11:03Yo he explorado muchas líneas de la mente y muchos mundos de ideas.
11:14Antes de saber cómo leer y escribir, mi mamá estaba leyendo la Odise y la Iliad para mí.
11:21Así que empecé mi viaje en mi fantasía antes de saber las maneras de cumplirlo.
11:30Pero mi mente y mi psico estaban listos para ello.
11:33Yo estaba viajando con la Odise, con los Argonautos, a esas maravillosas y maravillosas.
11:41Y siempre me quedó con esa fascinación del mundo.
11:45Y me quedé en el amor con el mundo.
11:48Y ha sido muy poderoso y ha estado conmigo todo el tiempo.
11:54¿Y cómo ocurre que nos encontramos aquí en el final del mundo?
12:00Yo creo que es un lugar lógico para nos encontrar.
12:04Porque este lugar funciona casi como una selección natural.
12:09Hay gente que tiene esta intención de saltar al margen del mapa.
12:14Y todos nos encontramos aquí, donde todas las líneas del mapa convergen.
12:18No hay punto en el sur de la Sud-Pole.
12:25Y creo que hay un gran cantidad de población aquí, que son viajantes y trabajadores del mapa.
12:34Así que sí, esos son los sueños profesionales.
12:36Ellos sueñan todo el tiempo.
12:38Y creo que, a través de ellos, los sueños de los sueños de los sueños de los sueños de los sueños.
12:45Porque el universo sueñe a través de nuestros sueños.
12:49Y creo que hay muchas formas de llevarse a la realidad.
12:57Y sueño es definitivamente una de esas formas.
13:00Y sueño es definitivamente una de esas formas.
13:12Y sueño es definitivamente una de esas formas.
13:29¡Gracias!
14:00As banal as McMurdo appears,
14:03it turns out it is filled with these professional dreamers.
14:09At night, laying in my bed here in McMurdo,
14:13I am again walking across the top of B-15.
14:18Might as well be on a piece of the South Pole,
14:21but yet I'm actually adrift in the ocean,
14:24a vagabond floating in the ocean.
14:27And below my feet, I can feel the rumble of the iceberg.
14:32I can feel the change, the cry of the iceberg,
14:36as it's screeching and as it's bouncing off the seabed,
14:39as it's steering the ocean currents,
14:42as it's beginning to move north.
14:44I can feel that sound coming up through the bottoms of my feet
14:48and telling me that this iceberg is coming north.
14:52That's my dream.
14:57So here I'm sitting in this lovely warm lab,
15:09and just outside is the environment that Scott and Shackleton
15:13first faced when they came here about a hundred years ago.
15:16Unlike Scott and Shackleton, who viewed the ice
15:20as this sort of static monster that had to be crossed to get to the South Pole,
15:25we scientists now are able to see the ice as a dynamic living entity
15:30that is sort of producing change, like the icebergs that I study.
15:35For me, it's been a wild ride.
15:39First of all, I found out that the iceberg that I came down to study
15:43not only was larger than the iceberg that sank the Titanic,
15:47it's not only larger than the Titanic itself,
15:51but it was larger than the country that built the Titanic.
15:54That's pretty big.
15:56This is B-15.
15:58So what we see here is the White Cliff.
16:01It's about 150 feet tall.
16:03So that means that there's over a thousand feet of ice below the water line.
16:09This iceberg is so big that the water that it contains
16:13would run the flow of the River Jordan for a thousand years.
16:18It's so big that the water that is inside of it
16:21would run the River Nile for 75 years.
16:25This is a little bit of video that we shot when we were flying up to the iceberg.
16:34It looks big and it looms above us.
16:36Even if we're on an aircraft flying above the iceberg,
16:39the iceberg is always above us.
16:42It's above us because it's a mystery that we don't understand.
16:46Here's a picture of what it looked like once we had arrived in the center of the iceberg.
16:51We put out our instruments.
16:53Now we're going to have an opportunity to monitor how the iceberg drifts north.
16:58They're so big, there's an element of fear.
17:02We don't know really what's going to come ahead
17:05when they eventually begin to melt in the ocean beyond Antarctica.
17:09What we're seeing now here is a time-lapse sort of animation
17:16of satellite imagery of the sea ice and of the continent of Antarctica.
17:21And what you see are three shades of gray.
17:24This sort of lighter shade of gray is the sea ice.
17:27And these little bits and pieces here, these are titanic icebergs.
17:31This little fellow right here, he's not a very big iceberg compared to these other ones,
17:36but that guy there might be the size of the island of Sicily in the Mediterranean.
17:42It's like a little tiny bumblebee zipping around in a circle,
17:46happy to be in the warm waters as it's drifting north.
17:51I'd be happy to see Antarctica as a static, monolithic environment,
17:58a cold monolith of ice, sort of the way the people back in the past used to see it.
18:03But now our comfortable thought about Antarctica is over.
18:08Now we're seeing it as a living being that's dynamic, that's producing change,
18:13change that it's broadcasting to the rest of the world,
18:17possibly in response to what the world is broadcasting down to Antarctica.
18:22Certainly on a gut level, it's going to be frightening
18:26to watch what happens to these babies once they get north.
18:43What environment would the men of Shackleton's expedition encounter
18:48if they returned in the next life?
18:55Shackleton, seen here, would finally make it to the Pole,
18:59a quest he had to abandon a mere hundred miles short of it.
19:05Would there be any ice left?
19:08Would he have to construct an artificial Antarctica in a studio
19:12and try to find his route through papier-mache icebergs?
19:27Would our only modern recourse be to create ice with machines?
19:32This is Frosty Boy here in McMurdo.
19:35It's the equivalent of ice cream in the States, and it's a really big hit.
19:39Everybody loves it. It's what they go for three or four times a day.
19:44And it has the texture of ice cream, but it's not quite ice cream.
19:48There's a lot of crises that happen in McMurdo when the Frosty Boy runs out.
19:54It's bad news.
19:57Words circulate everywhere throughout McMurdo when Frosty Boy goes down.
20:02It's really good stuff.
20:05From the very first day, we just wanted to get out of this place.
20:11McMurdo has climate-controlled housing facilities,
20:16its own radio station, a bowling alley,
20:20and abominations such as an aerobic studio and yoga classes.
20:25It even has an ATM machine.
20:28For all these reasons, I wanted to get out into the field as soon as possible.
20:41But before we could do that, it is mandatory that every inhabitant of McMurdo attends survival school
20:48before being allowed to leave.
20:56This two-day exercise is called Happy Camper.
21:10Students learn to build survival trenches and igloos.
21:14The bad news is, that night you have to sleep in your own construction.
21:19As long as I end up with ten fingers and ten toes at the end, it's all good.
21:24Oh God, sorry.
21:25We always need to break ourselves into two different groups now.
21:30We're going to brief this group over here for the burning vehicle scenario first.
21:34Then we're going to come back over and we're going to brief the bucket head white-out scenario.
21:39for everybody else.
21:42Essentially, we're trying to create conditions where we wouldn't be able to see.
21:46The wind is so severe.
21:47The snow is blowing so severely.
21:48Very, very cold.
21:49Exposed skin might actually create frostbite instantaneously.
21:53The winds are so severe you could be blown off of your stance of just simply standing out.
21:56And visibility is pretty much none.
21:59You can't see flag to flag.
22:00You might not be able to see your hands.
22:01But if you're not going to see your head, white-out scenario for everybody else.
22:03Essentially, we're trying to create conditions where we wouldn't be able to see.
22:06The wind is so severe.
22:07The snow is blowing so severely.
22:08Very, very cold.
22:09Exposed skin might actually create frostbite instantaneously.
22:11The winds are so severe you could be blown off of your stance of just simply standing out.
22:16And visibility is pretty much none.
22:19You can't see flag to flag.
22:21You might not be able to see your hand in front of your own face.
22:25Therefore, what we're going to do as a simulator is incorporate a bucket to simulate a white-out condition.
22:34To a point where I can barely hear myself.
22:37You can't necessarily even hear me.
22:40And I certainly can't see any of you right now.
22:44So, that's the whole idea behind the bucket head.
22:49Is to actually be a white-out simulator.
22:51And it works really quite well.
22:53So, some of the parameters for this are going to be.
22:58We're going to start inside the sea ice hut.
23:00I said I was going to go to the bathroom.
23:02And in fact, I did.
23:03I needed to go to the bathroom.
23:04Right?
23:05So, I've gone out.
23:06I've been gone for quite some time now though.
23:09You know like 10, 15, all of a sudden 20 minutes.
23:11You're like, hmm.
23:12First off, where's the chocolate?
23:14Second off, where's Kevin?
23:16Are you with us, number one?
23:18Number one is up.
23:19The goal is clear.
23:21To find the instructor next to the outhouse.
23:24Number two's out.
23:26Number three out.
23:28Number three out.
23:29Alright, number one.
23:31You're going to have to walk in one simple direction.
23:33And I'm going to keep the rope.
23:35Pull on one rope for me.
23:36Four out.
23:38It looks pretty good.
23:40They seem to be heading in the right direction.
23:42Five out.
23:46But very soon the front man veers off course, pulling everyone else with him.
23:52Outro, I want to man know where it is.
23:53Number three's here.
23:54One-hero, number three's here.
23:55What are you?
23:56Number three, I'm here.
23:57I'm here, number three.
23:58New troopers.
23:59Now I'm just going to go to the front man voezoo .
24:01Themayı coach told me it's over here.

26:20Esto fue frustrante porque la luz lo hizo tanto en mi celluloid y en mi piel.
26:28Así que casi fue como un relief cuando unos días después el weather cambió.
26:35La tormenta se rompió y fuimos a la ventura de McMurdo por la primera vez.
26:56Seguimos en los mobiles, en frente a miles y miles de oceanos.
27:02Seguimos hacia un campo de científicos estudiantes que estudian seals.
27:13Es increíble de considerar que a mere 6 feet debajo de nosotros era la expansión del Ross Sea.
27:32¡Gracias!

28:26In a few short weeks, pups grow rapidly while mothers lose some 40% of their body weight.
28:45Bagging the seal's head keeps the animal calm as the scientists extract a milk sample.
28:54Well, this really is quite a wonderful group of animals to work on.
29:10Wet-hell seals in particular, you could see they're very big, they're very strong,
29:15and yet they allow us to work with them.
29:17They're not very aggressive nor are they very timid.
29:20Even though they struggle somewhat when you have them in a bag or in a net,
29:25when you release them, they lie down.
29:27There's a mother behind us who we just worked on and she's just lying quietly with her pup.
29:32We've had pups start to nurse within a couple of minutes or releasing them.
29:35So even though they are a bit perturbed at being handled, they recover very quickly from it
29:42and seem to behave normally after that.
29:44And really that's the ideal for us, is to have an animal species that we can work on
29:49that will not be so disturbed by the work that's being done on them that they behave abnormally
29:55because we want to know how these animals survive under these conditions.
30:04In a field laboratory adjacent to the colony, they prepare the milk samples
30:09that may ultimately provide insight into human weight loss.
30:13This was just collected. It's still warm from the animal.
30:16So if you see that, see it's like, you know, it's almost like pouring wax.
30:21It's really something else.
30:23And if I let this cool down, it would get pretty pasty.
30:26I wouldn't be able to pour it like that at all.
30:28It's about body temperature right now.
30:31The milk of the Vidal seal is about 45% fat.
30:35It's about 60% dry matter, 65% dry matter.
30:40It's very, very high in protein, about 10-12% protein.
30:44It contains no lactose at all, which is very unusual.
30:48There's many things about this place that are very unusual.
30:51And one of the things that I find very fascinating is how quiet it gets.
30:56It's the quietest place.
30:58When the wind is down, when there's no wind, it wakes you up in the middle of the night
31:02because there's no wind and there's no sound at all.
31:04And if you walk out on the ice, you can hear your own heartbeat.
31:07That's how still it is.
31:09And you can hear the ice crack.
31:11And it sounds like there's somebody walking behind you, but it's just the ice.
31:14It's sort of, you know, these little stress cracks moving all the time.
31:18Because we're actually, right here, we're on ocean.
31:20We're not on solid ground.
31:22So, and you can hear the seals.
31:24You can hear the seals claw, and it's the most amazing sound.
31:27They make these really inorganic sounds.
31:30They sound like, I don't know, Pink Floyd or something.
31:35They don't sound like mammals.
31:36They definitely don't sound like animals.
31:38It's, it's really out of this world, I can say that.
31:51You get used to a surface being solid, and you sort of think in your mind that you're on land.
31:56And then all of a sudden you'll hear the sound coming up through the floor.
31:59You'll hear the chucks and the whistles.
32:02And the booms.
32:03And the booms that come, which you realize there's a whole world underneath you.
32:07The seals are moving and competing and fighting beneath you under the ice
32:11while you're here sleeping in a tent or working in a lab hut.
32:33How do they respond?
32:34qua pesca
32:37The seals are moving because they don't give us dólar.
32:43I love them.
32:52When the sailors up andibelia do, say, will theyBE酷?

33:30David Pacheco works in maintenance and construction as a journeyman plumber.
33:40He prides himself on his heritage.
33:44He is part Apache, but has claims to yet another lineage.
33:48It's funny, but I'm revealing my hands, and they are very distinct.
33:55And I was told by my doctor who operated me that it is from the Aztec and the Incas royal family.
34:04An anthropologist told me that.
34:07And one of our daughters is very similar, but everywhere I go, I try to find somebody.
34:12See?
34:13And I can turn it around, too, if you want to see it this way.
34:15It's very distinct, the line here.
34:18And I was at awe when they told me it was from the royal family of the Indians.
34:25When you work, with which fingers do you work best or point best?
34:29I don't know if I should say this, it's funny, but in school I used to not reach the shock
34:36board with this, so I used to point with this.
34:38And they called my father in and said that I was being a bad boy, but I still have the
34:42habit of pointing like that.
34:43I have a lung ribcage.
