I fell hard down the arctic exploration rabbit hole. At first it was just the adventure stories, people surviving in insane circumstances, but then a love of the ice and the way it makes our natural world so alien, and then finally admiration of the freedom comes with the arctic regions: no one is there to tell you what to do.
Ever seen James Carpenter’s “The Thing?” It’s one of my favorites movies.

There’s a sequel?!?! And it’s good?!

There’s a sequel?!?!
Yes, they did an exceptional job of combining The Thing (2011) running time: 1:43:00 min into The Thing (1982) running time: 1:49:00 min. The Thing is actually a 3:32:00 min movie.
And it’s good?!
For me it was because when you watch them back to back they flow so well.
