Ex-Disney animator brings Antarctic story to life
As the last continent to be discovered and explored, Antarctica has always had its own unique allure.
Now the story of the early Antarctic explorers is being brought to life for a new generation.
A former Disney animator who worked on Frozen and Big Hero 6 has left Hollywood to create a graphic novel of their adventures.
The BBC's Justin Rowlatt met Sarah Airriess when he visited Antarctica earlier this year.

Would never have thought anyone would do that, good for her.

It's going to take a monumental effort to locate the iconic ship of Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton.
This is the conclusion of scientists who tried and failed last year to find the Endurance, which sank in 3,000m of water in the Weddell Sea in 1915.
The team says the sea-ice in the area above the wreck site is nearly always thick and extensive.
It means most expeditions would struggle even to get close enough to begin a search.

Indeed, show it in its native aspect-ratio! Its how it was made.

Not sure about the tinting on some scenes, the captions are nicely done with the penguins looking on.

Quite sad watching it being destroyed, but it went down with flags flying.

WOW!!!!

To be honest, I didn't expect much more than a pile of rotting wood, but that is remarkably well preserved and almost as intact as when it went down.
