The Explorer
2013, Romanian. Directed by Xantus Gabor & Titus Muntean.
From the Antarctic icebergs to cave glaciers, following in the footsteps of Emil Racovitza, a Romanian scientist and explorer
The documentary presents the life and research of Emil Racovita, one of the first Antarctic explorers, a pioneer of oceanology and the founder of a new science, the bio-speleology. He created in Cluj the first Institute of Speleology in the world.
