The Secret Land

The footage showcased the success of the U.S. exploration of Antarctica. A map was drawn about the whereabouts of two different fleets of the mission. The narration gave detailed information about how they prepared and went through the process of mapping and documenting new territory. It took me a week to write a passage on this viewing. My memory is quite foggy yet remember a remarkable impression that the film left me at the end. I love seeing the risk and determination that the U.S. made a priority to encounter new continents and bring back new data from new species and topography sites.

I will give a philosophical standpoint. When ones explores new territory with past knowledge yet use up-to-date tools or knowledge and complete an assignment, one gains respect and makes a mark in history. One must remember to gain almost all of knowledge of the past on a subject. Then one uses risky instruments. Then one analyzes and publishes findings unknown and will add to the all the knowledge. I think that this is beauty in the best quality of life. You can repeat a pattern but repeat the newest, best pattern. This film emphasizes this thought. I recommend this film in ways on how we see or discover a new idea or site for the first time. Then we take everything in site into our memory. We become engaged. Then we follow a path. This film became a stepping stone for mappings, new species, military importance, and an early way of environmental issues filming. I would love to write a thesis with this film as a reference.
