NOVA: Descent Into the Ice

"The NOVA documentary Descent Into the Ice takes a look at the mountain glacier known as Mer de Glac. A section of the film focuses on scientists who brave the cold in order to learn more about this natural wonder. The DVD offers a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is fine if unexceptional. Supplemental materials include a ""described video"" feature for those with sever vision problems. Those with a DVD-ROM drive can print additional materials that would be worthwhile in a classroom setting."
