Antarctica Adventures--Filmmaker Salvatore Consalvi
Channel: Live from the Heartland
Date: 2012-10-25

Live from the Heartland features filmmaker Salvatore Consalvi, a return guest on today's show. He appeared earlier this year as part of a team of documentary filmmakers doing a film about Lakota medicine man entitled Sidney Has No Horses. Salvatore, it turned out, also had been part of expeditions to Antarctica. He recently learned that he would be returning shortly to Antarctica as part of a new research expedition, serving as cook and documentarian. He will be camped on one of Antarctica's fastest moving glaciers, the Pine Island Glacier, with a team studying the interaction of ice sheets and the ocean. We will do our best to warm him up while learning about the isolated life of the men and women who undertake such an endeavor in the name of science.
