Summary:

Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, driest and most isolated place in the world. And it's home to the British Antarctic Survey's Halley Research Station. Here, cutting-edge science is making vital discoveries about how our lives are vulnerable to the Sun and threatened by climate change. But the future of Halley is in danger: it rests on a constantly moving - and cracking - ice shelf. A huge chasm is cutting through the ice, threatening to completely sever the shelf and cast Halley adrift into the ocean. Horizon heads to Halley to deliver vital supplies, getting exclusive access to a unique outpost.
