Survival Island (IMAX)

Sir David Attenborough's first foray into IMAX has produced some of the most stunning giant-screen footage ever shot of animals in the wild. From the dramatic to the comical, "Survival Island" follows the magical return each year of animals to the sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia. The island, the only land for thousands of square miles suitable for breeding, hosts half the world's population of elephant seals (up to 6,000 on one beach), 500,000 penguins, the world's largest colony of albatross and receives about two million southern fur seals which breed there annually. Kings of the beach are the 20-foot-long bull elephant seals, which are impossible to ignore. (41 minutes, 1995)

This DVD video version of IMAX is digitally mastered from original 70 MM film elements with the sound components specially mixed and mastered to produce the highest quality Dolby Surround soundtrack. Below is a short clip related to the film.
