Ice Island

In spring of 2000, the largest moving object ever seen on our planet began its voyage - so grand in scale it changed the earth’s rotation as it moved.

A special team from the National Geographic Society and the New England Aquarium are the first to employ a bold new technological approach at exploring above, below and within the ice. They confront life and death decisions every day. Weaving their way through the treacherous pack ice - and well beyond the range of rescue - they make a dangerous flight in the spirit of discovery. But despite the natural beauty that captivates them, they are in a race to escape the clutches of the ice... How will they get out? $29.95
