Antarctic Edge: 70 Degrees South joins a team of world-class scientists as they explore the fastest warming place on earth: the West Antarctic Peninsula. Filmed in the most perilous environments on the planet, Antarctic Edge brings to us the stunning landscapes and seascapes of Earth's southern polar region, revealing the conditions and challenges that scientists endure for months at a time.

In 2014, scientists declared West Antarctic ice sheet melt unstoppable, threatening the future of our planet. In the wake of devastating climate events such as Hurricane Sandy, NJ-based oceanographer Oscar Schofield teams up with a group of world-class researchers in a race to understand climate change in the fastest winter-warming place on earth: the West Antarctic Peninsula. Trekking through dangerous and uncharted landscape, these scientists push the limits of their research and come to terms with the sacrifices necessary to understand this rapidly changing world.
