Melt Zone

Melt Zone: A mysterious structure, possibly of German origin, is found buried beneath the Antarctic ice. Undiscovered for decades...It should have remained that way. A team of climatologists make a startling discovery during a routine expedition to a melting glacier in Antarctica... In Europe, a secret Nazi document surfaces which points to a government conspiracy, and appears to be connected to events unfolding in the Antarctic... Robert Spire, tasked to recover the secret document, soon discovers that sinister forces are at work, and will do all they can to ensure that whatever lies buried beneath the Antarctic ice...remains there. RAPID ANTARCTIC ICE MELT... A HUNT ACROSS EUROPE... A DECADES-OLD NAZI MYTH... In 1938, the German New Swabia Expedition left Hamburg for Antarctica aboard the MS Schwabenland. The secret expedition arrived at the Princess Martha Coast, in an area which had been claimed by Norway as Dronning Maud Land, and began charting the region...75 years later, satellite photographs discover something very odd occurring in Eastern Antarctica... Rapid Antarctic Ice Melt... Just before Europe's Envisat satellite malfunctions, it photographs a mysterious melt zone during a fly-over of Eastern Antarctica. After analyzing the photographs, the UKs GLENCOM - Global Environmental Command - Unit, sends three of its climatologists to investigate, but as they search the site, a vast crevasse opens in the ice, swallowing them up. They survive the fall, but make a startling and lethal discovery. A Hunt Across Europe... GLENCOM agent and environmental lawyer, Robert Spire, is tasked to investigate a Cologne-based company whose origins appear linked to the events unfolding in Antarctica. As Spire suspects a possible government conspiracy, things take a sinister turn, as clues lead him to the discovery of a 70 year-old Nazi document and an Antarctic mystery that may have lasted for 70 years. A Decades-old Nazi Myth... With Spire now missing, and a second search and rescue operation to the melt zone going disastrously wrong, GLENCOM organise a third expedition to the region, this time with the assistance of cryoscientist and glaciologist, Irina Loptinova. If Spire makes it back to England alive, he will face his most daunting challenge yet, an expedition to the melt zone to discover the mystery that lies buried beneath the Antarctic ice.
