They Are The Last


They Are The Last from Kauri Multimedia on Vimeo.

"*WINNER SPECIAL JURY AWARD, DC SHORTS FILM FESTIVAL 2014.

34 degrees 24 minutes 19 seconds South,
53 degrees, 46 minutes 40 seconds West.

Leonardo Da Costa is a lighthouse keeper stationed in Cabo Polonio, a remote cape in a stretch of Uruguayan coastline rich in shipwrecks and sunken treasures.

Cabo Polonio’s light has been guiding ships since 1881, and Da Costa is the latest in a long line of watchmen who have operated the tower with care and attention. He leads an unassuming life, the tranquility of the almost intact landscape keeping him company. Serenity and silence merge with the daily tasks and chores he carries out. Da Costa represents a rare profession that still survives in a few countries.

Take some time to appreciate a gentle and enlightening way of life, for once it is gone, it will be missed.

Sea Sparkle


" Fine art and landscape photographer Fefo Boouvier captured a large population of bioluminescent noctiluca glowing against the Milky Way in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of the little town of Barra de Valizas, Uruguay."

"Noctiluca scintillans glow blue when disturbed, which is why they are commonly known as 'sea sparkle.'"

Race against the tide

Race against the tide, risking death under huge blocks of ice - Human Planet: Arctic - BBC One

YouTube Uploaded by BBC on Jan 25, 2011

"http://www.bbc.co.uk/humanplanet The people of Kangiqsujuaq in Canada go to great lengths to add variety to their diet of seal meat, venturing under the sea ice during the extreme low tides of the spring equinox to gather mussels.

It's a race against time. They have less than half an hour to search these temporary caverns before the tide rushes back in. A look-out keeps watch for the returning tide, but warning shouts can't be too loud in case the echoes bring down the ice."
