Lift the Ice follows the adventures of six uniquely skilled experts as they investigate the remarkable mysteries emerging from our ice.

Ice holds the keys to the cosmos. Planetary scientist Dr. Nina Lanza embarks on a journey to answer the greatest mysteries of the universe. From an Arctic lake that’s helping to find alien life, to Siberian scientists hunting black holes, to predicting solar flares using Greenland’s ancient ice.

Mars scientist Dr. Nina Lanza finds out how our ice is helping to answer everything from whether we’re alone in the universe, to tracking down galaxy-eating black holes.

The Ice Is Alien

Our ice hides a menagerie of life. Microbial ecologist Dr. Allison Fong goes on a journey to uncover the mighty power of these tiny creatures. From life-saving cures hidden in volcanic ice caves, to alien-like worms with bizarre adaptations, to blood-red algae that could transform distant glaciers.

Dr. Allison Fong explores the surprising power of the creatures living in our ice. From next-gen drugs in volcanic glaciers, to elusive ice worms, to snow-bound algae.

The Ice Is Alive

Our past is re-emerging from the ice. Archaeologist Ben Timberlake investigates civilisation-defining mysteries. From cataclysmic meteor impact sites buried deep below Greenland’s ice, to artifacts exposing a brutal massacre in ancient Alaska, to a Soviet ghost town in the Arctic.

The Ice Is History

Ice holds the key to rebuilding worlds. Marine biologist Dr. Diva Amon explores the hidden forces in our ice that can restore ecosystems. From deep-sea Arctic habitats with regenerative powers, to game-changing ice dinosaurs in Alaska, to a dying glacier in the Andes that can kick-start new life.

The Ice Rises

Ice is the deadliest enemy. Former soldier and archaeologist Ben Timberlake is on a mission to reveal the ice’s role in wars past, present, and future. From hunting lost WW1 bunkers in Italy, to secret Cold War nuclear bases in Greenland’s ice, to modern-day Arctic espionage on Russia’s border.

The Ice Is War

Our ice is acting strangely. Atmospheric scientist Dr. Ella Gilbert embarks on a mission to diagnose what’s happening inside these colossal pieces of ice. From galloping glaciers in Svalbard, to exploding permafrost pingos in Siberia, to a vertical glacier stuck 650ft underground in an Italian cave.
