This week Channel 5 concludes its exclusive coverage of Ice Station Barneo, the temporary airport built on ice in the Arctic Ocean, with a look at more of the extraordinary workers and characters attracted to the barren polar wastes.
With a lifespan of only four weeks, Barneo is a magnet for people passionate about living on the edge. Visitors include not only scientists and explorers, but also skydivers, a couple looking for the ultimate wedding venue, extreme golfers who think nothing of teeing off in temperatures of 35 degrees below zero and the hardy souls whose idea of fun is to run the notorious Arctic Marathon.
The polar region changes the people who visit it and the cameras are with them as they face up to themselves and the challenges posed by this awe inspiring, unforgiving landscape. This week, dog-handler Rafael is guiding his team of huskies to the North Pole. Lead dog Wally is retiring, but will new recruit Nelson be up to the job?
On his long, cold adventure Rafael reveals the unique bond between man and beast and the sadness felt when tragedy strikes. Polar guide Eric is an old friend of Camp Barneo, but this season his trip to the top of the world presents an even greater challenge. His inexperienced group of business men want to ski to the Pole against the flow of the ice drift, meaning that for every two steps forward, they will drift one step back.
Also visiting the Arctic is 17-year-old Eton schoolboy, Parker. While his friends are busy revising for their
A-levels, Parker is heading to 90° North to collect snow samples for a climate-change project. Finally, after a tough, action-packed four weeks at this unique ice station, it is time for the team to pack up camp Barneo and head home to their families before the ice starts to drift and melt again. For the next 11 months no human will set foot on this extraordinary spot on the planet, but planning for next year has already begun… For the four weeks before the ice melts, Barneo becomes a magnet for people passionate about living on the edge. These include not only scientists and explorers, but also skydivers trying to land on the roof of the world, a couple looking for the ultimate wedding venue, extreme golfers who think nothing of teeing off in temperatures of 35 degrees below zero, and the hardy souls whose idea of fun is the notorious Arctic Marathon.
The polar region changes the people who visit it, and our cameras are with them as they face the challenges posed by this awe-inspiring, unforgiving landscape. Across three episodes, we tell the story of Barneo’s short season, following the visitors whose arrival there is the fulfilment of a lifetime’s ambition, and the workers for whom freezing temperatures and cracking runways are everyday obstacles. Hundreds of miles from civilisation, they have to be ready for anything. This is going to be an exciting tv episode. Never miss it!
