Six teams of scientists and their survival experts are dispatched to Antarctica, the least understood, harshest continent on Earth.

In two weeks, science in Antarctica will shut down for the winter. Scott Base has a heavy load of logistics to manage in order to send teams out to finish their missions for the season. The USS Coast Guard crew is yet again challenged by their aging ship as they try to finish cutting a channel in the ice before they escort the Ocean Giant in. Meanwhile, the Mt. Erebus team struggles to salvage as much data as they can before they go home.

As winter approaches, field teams are finishing up their science for the season. It’s the last chance to obtain information for their research on the frozen continent. As most people are preparing to leave, a container ship is on its way in to supply food and materials to the skeleton crew that remains during the cold, dark winter months.
