影片纪录了《国家地理》杂志摄影师詹姆斯·巴洛格长达数年的南极冰川考察之旅。曾经一度巴洛格对于全球气候变暖的说法半信半疑，但这次考察改变了他的看法，通过他的摄像机镜头纪录，让我们意识到我们的星球已经面目全非、越发虚弱。巴洛格在一个由年轻人组成的探险团队的帮助下，通过直升机，木艇、雪橇等交通工具，跨越三个大洲旅行，为我们带来了震撼视觉和人心的影像和拷问。

The Kalaallit people of Greenland have been intimately connected to the eternal ice for millennia. These massive glaciers stand as records of ancient eras of the planet – but recently they began disappearing. As the foundation of their traditions literally melts beneath their feet, members of the Kalaallit community work with artists to capture the images and stories of a vanishing landscape and way of life.

A Tasmanian tiger wanders around in his zoo enclosure. A glacier is slowly melting. Facing its predicted disappearance, nature exerts its fury, bursts over the frame and resists its extinction by transformation.
