The Great White Silence
Directed by Herbert G. Ponting
Produced by Gaumont-British Picture Corporation
A visually stunning documentary record of Scott's doomed Antarctic expedition, balancing awe at nature's grandeur with the melancholy knowledge of human mortality and failure.
Herbert Ponting travelled to Antarctica with Captain Scott’s ill-fated South Pole expedition and filmed the stunning images that make up this extraordinary documentary. (Originally released in 1912 as With Captain Scott in the Antarctic, the material was re-edited and re-issued by Ponting in 1924 as The Great White Silence.)
