Discovery Channel - Great White Silence (2011) Information Great White Silence Olympian James Cracknell looks at the ill-fated last voyage of Captain Robert Falcon Scott, in Great White Silence with James Cracknell. A Film by Herbert Ponting The official record of Captain Scott's legendary expedition to the South Pole restored by the BFI and presented, with live musical performance from Simon Fisher Turner. A hundred years ago the British Antarctic Expedition led by Captain Scott set out on its ill-fated race to the South Pole. Joining Scott on board the Terra Nova was official photographer and cinematographer Herbert Ponting, and the images that he captured have fired imaginations ever since. Ponting filmed almost every aspect of the expedition: the scientific work, life in camp and the local wildlife - including the characterful Ad?lie penguins. Those things he was unable to film he boldly recreated back home. Most importantly, Ponting recorded the preparations for the assault on the Pole - from the trials of the caterpillar-track sledges to clothing and cooking equipment - giving us a real sense of the challenges faced by the expedition. Ponting used his footage in various forms over the years and in 1924 he re-edited it into this remarkable feature, complete with vivid tinting and toning.
