Herzog viaja a la comunidad Antártica de la estación Mc Murdo Station, Oficina Central de la National Science Foundation y al hogar de cientos de personas durante el verano austral (Octubre-Febrero). Sobre el curso de este viaje, Herzog examina la naturaleza humana y la madre naturaleza, alternando impresionantes localizaciones, reflexiones profundas, surrealistas y también en ocasiones absurdas experiencias de los biólogos, de los físicos, de los fontaneros, y de los conductores de camiones, que han elegido formar parte de una sociedad tan lejana como uno nunca hubiera podido imaginar.
