Some secrets won’t stay buried.

1912: defeated in the race to be the first to the South Pole, five British explorers battle un-survivable low temperatures as they struggle across the frozen Antarctic wastes for the safety of their camp.

A year later, broken by the unexpected news of the disaster, the expedition’s meteorologist begins a ten-year quest to understand what went wrong.

Today, as the world’s ice sheets begin to melt and surrender their secrets, three climatologists retrace the doomed explorers’ path to find the true cause of their deaths.

All are in a race to uncover the mysteries and the unfathomable power of the weather and the changing climate.
