Under the ice

I've only seen one of the programs on this Blue Ray, "Under Antarctic Ice". It follows a group of scientists and divers, including Norbert Wu, as they travel to Antarctica to study organisms living literally under the ice. The documentary features a lot of sea stars, urchins, jellyfish, sea spiders and even the odd coral. Corals in Antarctica? Penguins, seals and killer whales are also shown.

Unfortunately, my fascination soon gave way to boredom. The program is too slow paced, there is no dramatic music in the background, and the narrator has a voice I for some reason intensely dislike. But sure, this is a bit subjective. If you are an inveterate lover of all things invertebrate, or obsessed with a continent which truly is the final frontier, you might find this at least somewhat interesting. For that reason, I give "Under Antarctic Ice" three stars (or perhaps two-and-a-half).
