Synopsis:

Every thriller needs a ticking clock and there’s none more compelling than the melting of the world’s glaciers. We have long suspected that the frozen parts of our planet are hiding world-changing scientific discoveries, historical mysteries, precious resources, rare viruses and even the key to the search for alien life. But we’ve never been able to see all this, until now.

This six-part adventure series unpicks one of the greatest mysteries on Earth today – what will be revealed when we lift the ice? Across six very personal journeys of discovery, we follow a team of six field-leading experts as they climb, dive, rappel, ice axe and tunnel their way to the heart of an ever-evolving global warming story - solving scientific and historical puzzles while showing you the very real future of the human race along the way.
