We follow dog handler Rafael as he guides his team of huskies to the North Pole. Lead dog Wally is retiring, but will new recruit Nelson be up to the job? 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.
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.

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...
