For most of Earth's history there has been virtually no ice on the planet at all. We live in a time of ice. And ice has some extraordinary powers that make it one of the most powerful forces on Earth.

Visiting the Arctic, Antarctica and the Pacific North West of the USA, the message of this film is that when the ice changes the effects are much greater than just the obvious changes in ice cover – and clever CG shows what Manhattan would look like today if covered in a mile high column of ice.
