Welcome to the planet’s coldest lands. Vast wilds and hostile territories – incredibly beautiful, yet often deadly.
Join us as we follow those intrepid explorers who have bravely and valiantly trekked across treacherous terrain to the ends of the Earth. Along the way they have needed to take shelter from the elements (the icy winds and the deepest chill) and to stay alert, for magnificent mammals roam these lands. Needing all the help we can get in order to survive, we will research facts and figures of climate, temperature, habitats and ecosystems in our quest to become part of an Antarctic rescue team, braving the elements to rescue terrified passengers from a ship struck by a deadly berg that hides deep beneath the Southern Ocean.
So wrap up well everyone and don't reply on settling by the fire. Once we set foot outside, we may be some time.
