    Mountain of ice DVD

    Mountain of ice

    Liesl Clark (2003)

    Mountaineers and scientists battle the snowy precipices of Antarctica's highest peak - the Vinson Massif. The film's story is told through the voice of Jon Krakauer, mountaineer and best-selling author of "Into Thin Air". His high-risk expedition to scale the icy peak is interwoven with the epic story of Scott and Amundsen's race to reach the South Pole in 1912. Krakauer examines why one team failed and the other succeeded, even as he battles with the challenge of conquering the unpredictable slopes of the southern continent's mightiest summit.
