A somewhat unique sequence, created by simply editing together live footage, showing the stages of sea ice formation along the Antarctic continent in March 2023. Before reaching the final stage of a smooth, white ice sheet stretching as far as the eye can see, the ocean’s surface takes on very different appearances: from the faint whitish film that marks the beginning of saltwater freezing, to the formation of large ice floes, and the “pancakes” that eventually coalesce under the influence of the winds.
The footage is accompanied by the final movement of Gustav Mahler's Third Symphony.
