Britain's state-of-the-art Antarctic research base - the Halley VI - is in trouble. It sits on top of a massive ice shelf. But a huge chasm is opening in the ice. If the base isn't moved, it could be cast adrift - and ultimately sink to the bottom of the Southern Ocean. Horizon follows the team of around 100 everyday heroes tasked with the toughest moving job on Earth. The rescue mission has one thing in its favour: Halley was built on a giant set of skis that mean it can, in theory, be moved. But no-one has attempted it before. Join the team in the most extreme environment on Earth, as they take an extraordinary step into the unknown.
