The Elephant?s Graveyard Redux conflates 18th century polar exploration with early space exploration. It was filmed in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and shifts in scale throughout the sequence. The mountain sequence was filmed hanging outside the open window of a Cessna aircraft. The vessel is a constructed model based on Sir John Franklin?s Terror, lost in the arctic in 1847, and Ernest Shackleton?s Endurance, which sunk in the Antarctic in 1915. The audio compiles conversations between Ground Control and the Apollo 11 crew during the 1969 moon landing.
