I bought this dvd on a wild hunch and was incredibly lucky. This underwater photoessay on the ice palace under Antartica is hauntingly beautiful and mesmerizing. Highlight shadows of night divers floating underneath the polar icecap are breathtaking. The radiant, solitary dances of seals, jellyfish and other wondrous life forms drift to the understated yet poignant music. Take the awe and delight of stark natural beauty, add slow motion photography, experienced diver/photographers, shake with a kaleidoscope of drifting ice crystals and you have a magical experience in store.

I obtained this dvd on a wild hunch. The entire dvd consists of panoramic photogrqpy above and below(mostly below) the Antartica ice cap. As an avid diver, nature and fusion music lover, I found the incredible underwater cinematography of ice palaces mesmerizing. My favorite scenes include divers casting highlight shadows on the ice walls during a night dive. The underwater dances by seals, crinoids and jellyfish reveal a solitary radiance matched by the understated music score. An eerie spirituality permeates the entire viewing experience. If you take the awe and splendor of fireworks displays and add a bit of slow motion photography, haunting music and reverence for the natural world, you might be lucky enough to come up with Spiritual Earth/Crystal Water. I hope there is a sequel soon.
