“He would neither go towards the feeding grounds at the edge of the ice nor return to the colony.  Shortly afterwards we saw him heading straight towards the mountains, some seventy kilometers away.  Dr. Engly explained that even if we caught him and brought him back to the colony he would immediately head right back for the mountains... but why?  He is heading off into the interior of the vast continent. With five thousands kilometers ahead of him, he is heading towards certain death.” Werner Herzog
