Len C I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary. Scientific work, like engineering difficult problems, is not always exciting and often tedious and boring. However the need for such exploration and experimentation goes far beyond typical endeavors and shows us just how much work goes into understanding the world around us. I loved it and would recommend it to anyone. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/31/25 Full Review Kagan K This should be renamed "The boring life of the crusty scientists who study, the lake at the bottom of the world." At no point do we actually see this lake at the bottom of the world. An hour in we get a few stills of the bacteria and other micro-organisms that live in the lake. The rest of the time is people in tents and sheds talking about how cold it is. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
