What's Your Wildest Dream?
Tuesday, August 3 by Julie Brown
In 1999, renowned American mountaineer Conrad Anker made a discovery that reverberated around the globe. High in Mount Everest’s “death zone,” he found the body of George Mallory—75 years after the British explorer mysteriously vanished during his attempt to become the first man to summit the world’s tallest peak.
Mallory had risked everything as he set out, dressed in gabardine and hobnailed boots, in pursuit of his dream of reaching the top of Everest - which in 1924 was the last great adventure left to man. He was last spotted alive just 800 feet below the summit. Then the clouds rolled in and Mallory vanished into legend.

Astronauts as IMAX filmmakers in Hubble 3D
Monday, August 2 by Julie Brown
Take a look at this incredible photograph taken by Hubble’s Space Telescope - and imagine it rendered in 3D on the world’s biggest screen using proprietary IMAX digital remastering technology! It’s nothing short of breathtaking. Guaranteed.
But that’s only half the story. All the footage of the spacewalks and the scenes of astronauts inside the Space Shuttle were filmed by the astronauts themselves. As director Toni Myers comments, astronauts are fast learners, so they very quickly became adept IMAX 3D cinematographers in space. Their unique footage beautifully captures the delicate and dangerous work of repairing the Hubble Space Telescope, and gives us as cinema audiences a truly unique “you are there” feeling.
