Encounters at the End of the World Page #5
off-course, pulling everyone else with him
- Pull the rope, somebody
- THREE:
Hey, anybody out there?- Find him?
- Did we find the guy?
- No
ONE:
Okay, I think we're gonna go this wayFollow me this way, guys This way, guys
Hold on, hold on
So part of what we want to do here
as an educational opportunity
is see if they realize what they've done,
come back to a hut
and come up with a new game plan,
or if they just keep going down
that cascading error phenomenon,
where one mistake
leads into another mistake
which leads into a third,
and it just gets really bad
Who's pulling on this line?
- Me
- Number One
Number One, don't pull on that
That's the line going back to the hut
- I got the end
- Okay, back to the hut?
- Back to the hut
- Back to the hut
Back to the hut
HERZOG But rather than
pulling everyone in,
last man first along the rope,
they drift completely off-course
- Number Two is here Is Number Three here?
Number Four?
- Towards the sun
- No, not towards the sun
- Left
- We need to go left
Left, stay left
We don't know where he's standing though,
so left might be different for him
- Correct
- Number Two
- Okay, Number One
- I'm here
HERZOG For most of our time here,
we had postcard-pretty weather conditions
This was frustrating because I loathe
the sun both on my celluloid and my skin
So it almost came as a relief when a few
days later, the weather suddenly changed
The storm soon broke and we were allowed
to venture out of McMurdo for the first time
We set out on snowmobiles, in front of us
miles and miles of frozen ocean
We were heading toward a field camp
of scientists who study seals
It was amazing to consider
that a mere six feet under us
was the expanse of the Ross Sea
These scientists here
are particularly interested
in the feeding cycle of the Weddell seal
In just a few short weeks,
pups grow rapidly, while mothers lose
some 40% of their body weight
Bagging the seal's head keeps the animal
calm as the scientists extract a milk sample
(SEAL WAILING)
OFTEDAL Well, this really is quite
a wonderful group of animals to work on
Weddell seals in particular,
you can see they're very big
They're very strong,
and yet they allow us to work with them
They're not very aggressive,
nor are they very timid
Even though they struggle somewhat
when you have them in a bag or in a net,
when you release them, they lie down
who we just worked on,
and she's just lying quietly with her pup
