One of the sledges, used by the english explorer Robert Scott in his expedition to the south Pole, found 78 years later under the Antarctic ice. A deposit of shells and fossils coral inside a marine glacier. Suspended beaches and seals mummified by the ice. These are just a few of the new and unknown aspects of Antarctica presented in this documentary. A journey inside the ice continent but, at the same time, a journey into the unknown reality of the Italian scientists and experts working in the Antarctic base of Terranova Bay. The documentary is a diary of a journey, with spectacular scenes of penguins and ice canyons viewed from a helicopter, that supplies data on the zone hole and the withdrawal of the Antarctic ice barrier as a result of the greenhouse effect.
