- Synopsis:
Ice Patrol is the fascinating story of an extraordinary mission to the Antarctic on board HMS Endurance, the Royal Navy's sole ice patrol ship. A journey that carries with it enormous risks - medical emergencies, maritime rescues, unexpected equipment failure, appalling weather and the ever threatening ice which lies in wait just beyond the horizon. This beautifully shot four-part series offers a truly unique opportunity to follow the lives of Royal Navy and British Antarctic Survey personnel on and off the ship during their four-month mission to Antarctica. Follow Endurance's small party of Royal Marines as they attempt to retrace explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton's epic journey across the island of South Georgia. Experience the thrill of breaking through the ice of the Erebus and Terror Gulf for the first time. Fly in the ship's Lynx helicopters over the icy seas and towering mountains of Antarctica. Face the crew's greatest challenge as they battle to save their ship in the stormy waters off Cape Horn. It will be the trip of a lifetime. - Directors:
