Ben Fogle leads a team of five would-be explorers on the ultimate challenge: to cover 200 miles across the frozen wastes of Spitzbergen, just 80 miles from the Arctic Circle to reach the heights of the magnificent Temple Mountain.
To get to the mountain, the team will have to travel across some of the most treacherous terrain known to man, endure sub-zero temperatures and camp out in the icy wilderness. Pushed to their mental and physical limits, this journey will change their lives forever, if they make it to the end.
The team begin a perilous journey across 70 miles of frozen Arctic tundra but when a blizzard rolls and the temperature plummets to minus 35 degrees, the team have to abandon their journey and set up an emergency camp. The freezing temperatures have a disastrous effect on 23-year-old Sian’s health. When Nina can’t wake her, the Norwegian guides begin a desperate 48-hour battle to raise her body temperature.
