At :30 the famed vessel Calypso is shown during a trip to the Antarctic. At :49 Cousteau discusses his research, measuring chlorophyll content and temperature in arctic sea water. At 2:00 a FAX machine is used to transmit information to the Ames Research Center in California. At 2:19 Cousteau discusses a near disaster the Calypso suffered after it collided with an iceberg. The ship was monitored by satellites until it reached a safe port in South America; the incident highlighted the importance of satellite communication and weather reporting technology for research and humanitarian communications purposes. Motion picture films don't last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we've worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you'd like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we'd love to hear from you. Contact us via the weblink below. This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD, 2k and 4k. For more information visit
