Werner Herzog gets philosophical with an Antarctic base forklift driver, a Homer-loving renaissance man named Stefan Pashov, in the documentary Encounters at the End of the World. The frozen continent is “a logical place to find each other”, Pashov says. To his mind, Antarctica functions “almost as a natural selection for people that have this intention to jump off the margin of the map”. He’s definitely one of them, and I’d imagine anyone would have to be at least a little bit mad to exhaust the direction of a cardinal point to the point where south ceases to exist. “We all meet here, where the lines of the map converge.” (via Videosift)
