An Arctic expedition is caught in the grip of the ice it has come to study.
Not far from the North Pole, a research team sets out to measure the world’s largest and oldest sea ice floes. Steve is an expedition leader who has led projects in the High Arctic for 40 years. Chris is a polar oceanographer who studies ice floes from a Harvard lab. They know the data, but nothing has prepared them for the truth on the ground. Caught in a frozen maelstrom, something has to give.
