In 1825, on their third exploration inside the Arctic Circle under the command of English explorer William Edward Parry, the crew of the HMS Fury and her sister ship, the HMS Hecla, encounter an alien ice creature newly arrived on Earth in a meteorite. In order to kill the beast, they trap it on the Fury and sink her into the Arctic waters. Almost 200 years later, a group of investigators, led by James Clark 'JC' Ross (Dean Cain), one of the descendents of the original captain of the Fury, discover the remains of the ship buried under 300 feet of ice at the Fury Point Outpost on Somerset Island. They drill down to it and, unknowingly, release the frozen creature. When a storm traps them on the Outpost along with two other scientists, Doctor Brent Hasslein (Steven Waddington) and Ross' girlfriend Sedna (Lucy Brown), plus various support staff, they must battle both the creature and the growing cold in order to survive.

Arctic Predator was filmed from a script by screenwriter Rafael Jordan.

Yes. Somerset Island is located within the Arctic Circle north of the Nunavut Territory in Canada. On the following map, Somerset Island, although unnamed, can easily be located off the northwest coast of Baffin Island, just south of Resolute.

Dr Hasslein theorizes that, because the creature is basically composed of deuterium, also known as 'heavy hydrogen,' it may have originated on Jupiter or some other gas giant planet where deuterium abounds. It looks like chunks of ice and icicles fitted together in a vaguely bipedal form. Viewers have occasionally referred to the creature as looking like 'Jack Frost's evil twin.'

Dr Hasslein theorizes that, in its natural state, the creature may exist as a gaseous being, much like fog or even invisbile vapor. Forced to take on ice form in the cold Arctic temperatures, it is seeking a way to 'melt' itself in order to get back into its natural state.

Dr Hasslein succeeds in forcing the creature to decompress from its vapor form into its ice form. After saying goodbye to Sedna, Ross uses the tunnel drill to force the creature into the tunnel and pin it against the wall. He then blows up the tunnel entrance, sealing himself and the creature 300 feet below the icy surface. Assuming that he has maybe an hour before he either freezes to death or runs out of oxygen, Ross makes a last entry in Parry's diary, ending up with, 'I have one final hope...that no one will ever read this.' Back on the Outpost, Sedna, Gates, and Shayla await transport and agree that no one can know about what happened, lest someone else come looking for the Fury.
