What secrets are hiding beneath the melting ice of the Alps? For thousands of years, glaciers have acted as the ultimate natural archive, deep-freezing history in near-perfect condition. But as climate change accelerates, the eternal ice is giving up its most chilling and mysterious relics. In this historical documentary, we uncover the shocking truths exposed by the melting glaciers. From the brutal, frozen trenches of World War I where 180,000 ordinary soldiers perished at 4,000 meters altitude, to a top-secret WWII Nazi aircraft carrying classified radar technology. We also journey even further back into the Bronze Age to investigate a 4,500-year-old mystery box, and reveal the tragic 75-year-old love story of a couple swallowed by the ice in 1942.
