Antarctica on the Edge: Impending Ecological Doom

Antarctica is on the brink of destruction. With temperatures rising, delicate ecosystems which have been built up over the centuries are on the verge of collapse. This documentary shows rifts as wide as football fields opening in ice once hundreds of feet thick. Fur seals, their health declining, bask on widening beaches, while Adélie penguins experience dwindling food sources. Experts predict that this crisis in Antarctica could portend flood disaster for many coastal cities around the globe. This is a sobering picture of impending ecological doom. (52 minutes)
