Fantasy to the North Pole, June 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Icebreaker to the North Pole [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This video attempts to portray the historic 1994 Arctic Ocean Section Expedition. Unfortunately, some of its most memorable scenes didn't occur when the Canadian and United States icebreakers were around. Neither of the ships witnessed the antics of the talented young children from the Russian Icebreaker Yamal, although they're made virtually the centerpiece of the last half of the video. Frankly the cuts from the children to the scientists trivializes the importance of the work being doen on the expedition for the sake of cuteness.
I was a participant in this expedition. It was historic and deserves to be documented accordingly. Unfortunately, this video isn't it.
