"Will heads to the South Pole, where temperatures can drop below minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit. He skis and treks across giant icefields, and, faced with a giant cliff of ice in bone-chilling winds, struggles to climb to the top. Only with the support of one of the world\u2019s best polar athletes, Richard Parks, does he succeed. In one of the planet\u2019s most isolated research stations, scientists take ice cores deep under the surface and make incredible sacrifices to pursue their research."
