Rockhopper Stopover

Land ahoy! Seasickness and mild hypothermia forgotten, the Earth Touch crew finally gets to explore Antarctica and glimpse the day-to-day lives of the animals that inhabit this incredibly harsh environment (look out for nest thievery and penguin highways). And what’s the best way to end off a trip to the frozen continent? A snowball fight, of course.

The Earth Touch crew is nearing its destination. What separates them now from the icy shores of Antarctica are a few seal colonies governed by some very territorial males, huddles of penguins in their thousands and one more tussle with that unpredictable Southern Ocean.

After dodging a few icebergs, the crew hits the rocky beaches of South Georgia … and they quickly discover what happens on an island that has no major land predators. Get ready for penguin overload and some extremely friendly (and photogenic) seals!

The journey begins! Two sun-loving South African filmmakers are heading for the coldest continent on earth. First stop: the remote and beautiful Falkland Islands, home to one of the largest nesting colonies of rare rockhopper penguins.

Join the journey to one of the most remote and hostile corners of our planet … Antarctica. An Earth Touch crew sets out on a mission to film the iconic animals that have learned to survive on the planet’s driest, windiest and coldest continent. But before they can put their cameras to work, the crew must cross the world’s roughest ocean, dodge an iceberg or two and try not to succumb to frostbite.
