Expedition to the South Pole
Will the eternal ice melt?

In the midst of one of the notoriously violent storms of the Southern Ocean, the research icebreaker Polarstern tries to find a safe passage. The ship, battered by huge and powerful waves, suddenly seems small and fragile. The scientists from the Alfred Wegener Institute and the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel are operating in largely unexplored territory and are as far away from civilisation as possible - this is cutting-edge science. This journey will challenge the almost 100 souls on board in a way they have never experienced before; it will require courage, resilience and willpower to endure and overcome these extreme conditions.
