Lift the Ice
Channel: Curiosity Channel (DStv 185)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Documentary Series, Nature, Science
Lift the Ice is a series exploring the incredible mysteries being revealed in the frozen parts of our planet.
The premium scientific adventure docuseries follows some of the world's most intrepid explorers and scientific experts on a global mission to solve scientific puzzles that could radically reshape the future of humanity.
Each of the series' six episodes combine daring exploration and groundbreaking historical research during bold scientific expeditions into the cryosphere.
The teams investigate what lies beneath the ice to seek out what will be revealed as global warming progressively melts the planet's cryosphere.
Using high-tech scanning and satellite imagery, the series shows viewers a world in which ice does not exist - all rendered in CGI and in UHD.
The series recruited young, diverse superstars in their fields to host each of the episodes including:
Dr Diva Amon (Trinidad-UK)
Deep Sea Marine Biologist
The hidden world of the deep ocean is where Diva has spent much of her career, whether it's operating remote underwater vehicles or venturing there herself in submersibles alongside A-listers like Will Smith.
As a deep-sea marine biologist, Diva is fascinated by the kind of life that survives in these extreme environments.
But now she is taking her skills to a new realm, searching for the types of life that have adapted to withstand the extremes of the cryosphere.
Dr Allison Fong (USA)
Biological Oceanographer and Microbial Ecologist
A biological oceanographer and microbial ecologist at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Allison led the ecosystem team during the historic and record-breaking MOSAiC expedition.
For over a year, her research vessel was locked in the Arctic floes, allowing her and her team to conduct unique research on and below the sea ice while battling extreme temperatures and polar bears along the way.
Now Allison wants to step out of her marine-based comfort zone and investigate the surprising power that tiny terrestrial lifeforms have across the cryosphere.
Ben Timberlake (UK)
Archaeologist, Soldier, Combat Medic
Ben has many past lives - an archaeologist, Special Forces soldier and combat medic.
Currently, he is a security consultant and medic in high-risk areas, specialising in Iraq and Syria, with much writing and presenting experience.
Drawing on his rich experiences, Ben authored High Risk, a raw and uncompromising tale of the human condition in extremes.
Now Ben is on a mission to discover how the cryosphere has challenged military forces in the past, present and future.
Dr Nina Lanza (USA)
Planetary Scientist
Nina lives and breathes alien habitats and all things Mars.
As leader of the Space and Remote Sensing Team at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and a key scientist for the Mars Curiosity Rover, she knows the challenges of solving the mysteries of the universe firsthand.
But she also knows that the cryosphere is the best place on Earth to unlock many of these secrets.
Having previously explored Antarctica in search of meteorites, she is now on a mission to discover how the cryosphere might be our best bet for finding alien life, learning where we came from, and how to protect ourselves from cosmic threats.
Dr Ella Gilbert (UK)
Climate Scientist
Ella is a pioneering young climate scientist who has embarked on expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic to uncover the mechanisms of climate change in the atmosphere above Earth's polar regions.
Now, she's on a mission to discover how her work in the skies translates into what is happening on the ground - exploring thawing permafrost, methane explosions and ice age beasts expelled from the earth.
