Continent 7: Antarctica

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

Severe weather systems in three different regions of Antarctica threaten all teams in the field, put Scott Base on lockdown, and halt all flights coming in or out.

The Mt. Erebus team has trouble landing and their gear glitches in the cold. Meanwhile, the USS Coast Guard gets stranded from engine failure.

Antarctic wildlife has adapted to survive in the world’s most hostile weather, but climate change and human intervention can threaten its existence.

With the season ending, some teams rush out into the field for their last chance to collect data, while the others rush to get back to Scott Base.

As winter approaches, field teams finish up their science for the season; this is their last chance to obtain information for their research.
