    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The British Flag in the Communications room is hanging upside down. This is an inside joke common among actual real-life South Pole installations. Since they are at the bottom of the world, if you were to look at the globe proper, the flag would appear to be right side up.
    • Goofs
      The pilot follows the two characters down the hole to the crashed plane. In a search and rescue operation, one person would stay above ground to make sure that everyone can get back for just such emergencies as the hole collapsing.
    • Quotes

      Man in Hall: Hey Marshal, don't you owe me a strip search?

      Carrie Stetko: [about earlier streaking] You were the second guy out the door, right?

      Man in Hall: Yeah.

      Carrie Stetko: Not interested.

    Very watchable & riveting to the end.

    An original film about crime in Antarctica. An excellent lead in to the story at the time of the cold war; a soviet plane crashes in Antarctic but what was it carrying? Fast forward to today. The female cop dealing with her own fears from previous cases is about to leave the base for winter, and just at this pivotal time people start to get bumped off. Interesting twists & turns emerge as she hunts for information & people who may provide answers. Well-paced & good narrative right through to the end. Great locations & beautiful photography of that magnificent place.
