Check out this cut scene from Anne Aghion s film Ice People! In it, Dr. Adam Lewis from North Dakota State University talks about the remnants of the 14 million year old ancient lake at Mount Boreas in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica, where he and Pr. Allan Ashworth have been doing research. Tiny fossils tell big story!

Unique in the genre of exploration and adventure films, ICE PEOPLE takes you on one of the earth s most seductive journeys Antarctica. Emmy-winning filmmaker Anne Aghion spent four months on the ice with modern-day polar explorers, to find out what drives dedicated researchers to leave the world behind in pursuit of science, and to capture the true experience of living and working in this extreme environment.The public focus on climate change has turned the shores of Antarctica into a new tourist mecca, making the earth s coldest continent the hot place to be. But, inland from the penguins and ice floes, is a magical Antarctica of volcanoes, boulder-strewn valleys and ominous glaciers. Only a small number of scientific research teams get there, braving severe conditions to learn about our planet s history, and make predictions about our future. ICE PEOPLE heads out into the deep field with noted scientists Allan Ashworth and Adam Lewis, and two undergrad scientists-in-the-making, where they scour across hundreds of miles to find tiny, critical signs of life 20 million years old. The most authentic film about life on the ice since the trailblazing expeditions chronicled nearly a century ago, ICE PEOPLE conveys the vast beauty, the claustrophobia, the excitement and the stillness of an experience set to nature s rhythm.
