Explorer Dwayne Fields looks at nine polar-exploration scenes from popular TV shows and movies and rates them based on realism.
He looks at "The Day After Tomorrow" (2004), "Eight Below" (2006), "The Midnight Sky" (2020), "Arctic" (2018), "The Terror" (2018), "The Thing" (1982), "Whiteout" (2009), "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back" (1980), and "Shackleton" (2002).
Fields was born in Jamaica and came to the UK when he was 6. In 2010, he became the first Black Briton to walk over 400 miles to the magnetic North Pole. Fields has completed numerous adventures in and around the Arctic Circle, and he will guide the #WeTwo mission of young people to Antarctica in 2022. He is a Scout ambassador and has been awarded the Freedom of the City of London medal by the lord mayor.

The artic is a bountiful treasure for scientific discovery, natural resources, trading routes, weather prediction, and military purposes. During WW2 the allies had the advantage in predicting weather conditions in the Atlantic due to having meteorological bases in the north. Right now Canada and the U.S. are in competition with Russia and China in the north pole. P.S.: And like always, China claims it has ancestral rights in the north pole like it claims the entire South China Sea and Taiwan as its territory. A huge headache is incoming but the competition in the north pole might determine who's gonna keep its hegemony on the international stage in the future. Will the U.S., Canada, and its allies prevail or will China take the world? They already have influence over hundreds of countries through debt trap.

I've been to Svalbard which is further north than most of you will probably ever get, my friend (who lived there) and I went for a ~180 km drive on snowmobiles. We did carry a classic Mauser bolt action rifle (as you are legally required to do) for protection, but even though we saw lots of fresh polar bears tracks and a mostly eaten reindeer we never spotted a bear on that trip. (And if we had done so, we would never had shot it, just driven away to not disturb it.) This was in the middle of March, just like now, and the weather was very nice. I have experienced far worse conditions in the Norwegian mountains with temperatures down to -35 (while xc skiing), but the coldest I've ever been might have been during my military service, standing guard in humid seaside air at -25C.

one of the major issues films tend to have is they have to tell a complete story in 2 hours, most stories are not that short, so you're always forced to condense tons of material into a short amount of time, the other problem is budget, the constraints of which will 100% determine your ability to create the film. Each of them has challenges and limitations, you work within those , or don't if you're james cameron and get blank checks, the plebs amongst us will always be forced to sacrifice that 'realism' for 'storytelling', and 'looks amazing' for 'tells the story'.

As someone who lives up north. It always bugs me when i see the cg being waay off about people outdoors in the cold. 1. You dont see them exhale/puffs of warm breath hitting the freezing air. 2. The coloring is wrong. 3. Not miserable enough physically for the situation 4. Not shaking even tho theyre "freezing"5. No frost on them. Especially the face. Ive had my eyelashes /brows have thick frost when i shovel for a bit. The warm breath travels up to my eyes. Ive had my hat have frost from the heat of my head. I can easily tell if a scene was shot in a studio versus outdoors. People even MOVE different. Ps. 15:23 HAn just found luke who was missing : who was going into hypothermia. Being exposed to the cold so frigid in the beginning of the scene they told han his animal and him would die from exposure if he went out looking for luke. His first act was to gut the animal and cover luke up. Then you see him set up camp.

Well, it depends on the degree of cold. When I lived in Chicago the deep winter temps. could drop as low as 35 below zero F and as cold as 90 below zero F wind-chill factor. When temps get that cold your body literally cannot feel the cold any longer. It is an extremely strange sensation one cannot really explain. You feel nothing unless the wind is blowing. Also, anything under 30 below zero you cannot expose flesh to the extreme temperature for more than a few seconds otherwise it will immediately freeze. There is the real danger in such environments, you don't feel cold so you think it ok to take off your gloves, hat, whatever and before you know it...severe frostbite.

OK, just for some context on the Star Wars scene, it not like they were both out together and were trying to travel in a storm. Luke had recently escaped a predators den and was stumbling, lost in a storm and dying of hypothermia. Han had just found him and the animal he was riding, a large two legged creature called a tauntaun, just died from exposure. Now he has to try and save the unconscious Luke. He used the tauntaun, that still had some body heat, to keep Luke warm while he erected the emergency shelter. To me, it makes sense to protect the injured person you just found while you create a shelter to protect you both.

I think it was very necessary. It's not been a month that I read the last "oh noes, they included non-WASPs in a story in the 19th century US, how liberal & woke & silly !!! " Because everybody knows that 19th century in the US was wall-to-wall European-descended folks, with maybe one POC around to do the washing up. Because apparently, there's still enough movies or shows telling us so. That, and also that people like Cleopatra or a (good guy) Persian King looked remarkably European. Which in turn of course limits the roles for any non-WASP actors to what? "realistic" stuff like drug dealers, baseball players and rap singers? Oh joy. So yes, sad as it is: this still needs to be said.

I've fallen through ice a few times. I grew up on a lake and was always the dumbass who wanted to go out and skate long after the ice couldn't support it. There was nobody else there the first time and I was probably 10 or 11 at the time. The first thing I did was try to pull myself back on the ice but it was so thin it just kept breaking away. I kept at it until I got myself back on top and went home. That was the first lesson. The second thing I learned is that you never ever try to warm yourself with hot water. That hurt more than being in the ice water.

The tauntaun was cut open with Luke's lightsaber so the bone structure doesn't matter. Also the shelter wasn't set up because Han was wanting to find Luke before he set it up and he had only just found him. Step 1 making sure injured Luke starts warming up, step 2 set up the portable shelter. Sounds reasonable to me, just not realistic because it is a fake animal that gets cut open with a fake weapon.

Great video. The only thing is he must have never seen "The THING" (great movie by the way!). They are in Antarctica in the middle of winter. There is absolutely nowhere to go! They have to wait many months before they will get picked up. There is only a very small window every year that humans can even get to Antarctica. I saw a doc about it and it was pretty good.
