Mark Terry is crazy. Kinda’ crazy. Maybe like, half crazy. On a day when it was eight degrees outside, he swam around in what would have been polar waters, describing that particular day as “balmy”. Mark Terry is just the kind of crazy the world needs in order to wake up to the realities of global warming and the impact on the polar ice caps, as well as the eco system in general.
In this PBS documentary, Mark Terry, longtime arctic and Antarctic scientist and documentarian shines a light on the growing difficulties of the ice caps in an effort to present his findings to the prestigious COP16, the Climate Change Conference held in Cancun in December of 2010. Boarding the science vessel The Amundsen, Terry and a crew of scientists engage in multiple experiments in an effort to pinpoint the effects global warming and climate change are having on the world’s polar caps.
