Join us on an adventure through the most extreme continent on our planet, Antarctica!

This polar region around Earth’s Southpole is higher, colder, and even drier than any other. Although it is thousands of miles away, what happens here affects every single one of us.

Antarctica and its surrounding Southern Ocean play a vital role for the entire planet by regulating ocean currents, sea levels, and wildlife-filled waters which absorb huge amounts of carbon. New science is revealing that dramatic changes are occurring and rapidly warming this pristine land of snow and ice. It will take global cooperation and collaboration to protect it and ensure the future health of our planet.

Narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, come discover the mysteries and beauty of this icy continent on the Carolinas’ largest screen.
