DERNIER CONTINENT, LE
Documentary about the expedition of the Sedna IV, who wintered in Antarctica to document the impact of climate change on the continent during the winter, once all other scientific expeditions have left. The Antarctic continent, the last unspoiled continent, plays a vital role in regulating global climate. But it also has warmed five times higher than other continents. The documentary recounts the problems that the ship had to overcome to withstand the elements, the human problems that occurred among the 13 crew members after a long period of promiscuity and isolation from the world, as well as the impact of overheating animal species that depend on sea ice for breeding. The scientific protocol of this expedition will be recorded during the winter average temperature of -5 degrees Celsius as well as a a minimum temperature of -14 degrees Celsius.
