North Pole Ice Airport

Each year, parachuted in by Russian transport planes, a strange community descends onto the drifting ice of the Arctic Ocean. For the next four weeks, before the ice melts, Ice Station Barneo becomes a magnet for people passionate about living on the edge: not just scientists and explorers, but skydivers trying to land on the roof of the world, a couple looking for the ultimate wedding venue, extreme golfers who think nothing of teeing off in sub-zero temperatures and hardy souls whose idea of fun is the notorious Arctic Marathon. This three part series tells the unique story of the most northerly airport on earth. (texte officiel du distributeur)
