Alaska’s Eighth Wonder (Reel 2)

  • Run time: 12 min
  • Premiere: 1925. January 1.

    The second reel of an orphaned 1925 nature documentary, the footage follows the movement and calving of glaciers. Viewed from the present, the film is transformed into a document of loss and vulnerability, a challenge to the “timeless” view of nature put forth by early naturalists.
