Apart from severe weather conditions, these men and women struggled with heavy and cumbersome equipment in some of the most unforgiving locales on the planet. This groundbreaking study examines nature, wildlife and wilderness filming from all angles. Topics covered include the beginnings of film itself, the first attempts at nature and expedition filming, technical developments of the period involving cameras and lenses, and the role film has played in wilderness preservation. The individual contributions of major figures are discussed throughout, and a filmography lists hundreds of nature films from the period.  About the Author Palle B. Petterson (Ph.D) is a Danish writer and film enthusiast who has traveled in ninety countries. He is currently at work on a book abut the Danish documentary film director Theodor Christensen.
