Description

Explore the mysterious world of the underground: the world's most remote, unexplored caves. Follow two cavers as they search for extreme living organisms in the ice caves of Greenland, the underwater caves of the Yucatán Peninsula, and the earth caves of the Little Grand Canyon. Wriggle through tiny, twisting passages, drop into gleaming blue labyrinths of ice, swim through flooded underground vaults, and enter a world so extreme the microscopic creatures who live there are called extremophiles. Hold your breath as expedition leaders Dr. Hazel Barton and Nancy Aulenbach rappel down steep cliffs into unmapped chambers, hoping to bring back startling new discoveries that may unlock new cures for human disease.

Discover for yourself what makes cave exploration such an awe-inspiring experience.
