Antarctica is a 1991 IMAX film[1] documenting the continent of Antarctica. The film has a 38-minute runtime, and consists of aerial footage of the topography and fauna of the continent.[2] It was narrated by Alex Scott[3] and has music by Australian composer Nigel Westlake, who later adapted his score into a popular concert suite of the same name for guitar and orchestra.
As well as screening in IMAX theatres, the movie was released on laserdisc, DVD, Blu-ray and has been available in high definition on streaming services, although the quality of the image on DVD was poor.[4]
It grossed more than US$65 million and is one of the most profitable Australian-financed films.[4]
