Polar Shift - Various Artists

In 1991, when critical decisions were being made about Antarctica, Terence Yallop and Anna Turner produced an album they titled Polar Shift to raise funds to help influence the protection of Antarctica, the fifth largest landmass in the world, and the least known.

Antarctica is the windiest, coldest, driest, highest, most remote continent on Earth, a land of towering glaciers, fantastically sculpted in polished ice by storms that have no equal. Antarctica has an overwhelming presence and an extraordinary vulnerability. A single footprint may remain in the ice for decades; the effects of an oil spill could last forever.

The following world-renowned artists, along with their record and publishing companies, generously donated the selections that made up this album:

Theme from Antarctica by Vangelis,
Secret Vows by Yanni,
Song for Antarctica, a special piece for Polar Shift by Yanni,
Pura Vida by Chris Spheeris & Paul Voudouris,
Field of Tears by Chris Spheeris,
Lullaby by Jim Chappell,
Watermark by Enya,
Polar Flight by Steve Howe, Paul Sutin & Constance Demby,
Into Forever by Constance Demby,
Day One by John Tesh,
Anthem by Suzanne Ciani
and Light of the Spirit by Kitaro.

This very special album is now out of print.
