Luc Jacquet's 'Ice and The Sky' Documents Glaciologist Claude Lorius on Sky Arte

Following the success of 'March of the Penguins', filmmaker Luc Jacquet returns with a visually striking documentary celebrating nature, centered on scientist Claude Lorius. 'Ice and The Sky' airs Friday, December 9 on Sky Arte HD. The French glaciologist narrates his life's adventures on polar ice, beginning with youthful missions that defied natural laws. Lorius's research opened a fundamental branch of modern science: through ice core analysis, he formulated early theories on the greenhouse effect and human-caused global warming. The film traces his expeditions in harsh polar regions, sharing memories and experiences. Archival footage and Antarctic shots accompany his studies, which became the first crucial piece of theories that forever changed humanity's understanding of its impact on nature.
