Secrets in the Ice: Iceland’s Glacier Tomb (Sky History Monday 5 February 2024)
On Monday 5 February 2024, Sky History will premiere an episode of “Secrets in the Ice” titled “Iceland’s Glacier Tomb.” This series takes viewers on a journey to some of the most remote and inhospitable places on Earth, where mysteries from the past have been frozen in time.
In this particular episode, a team embarks on a mission to locate a British Second World War aeroplane that went missing in Iceland. The search for this lost aircraft adds an element of historical intrigue to the narrative, as it delves into the secrets hidden beneath the icy landscapes.
The episode also takes us to Russia, where archaeologists make a remarkable discovery: 34,000-year-old graves. These ancient resting places provide fascinating insights into human history and offer glimpses into civilizations long gone.
“Secrets in the Ice” goes beyond archaeological finds and explores other enigmatic phenomena locked away in icy tombs. The episode highlights mysterious frozen lakes filled with bones, mummified bodies suspended within glaciers, and even a 30,000-year-old virus that has been revived in a laboratory setting.
The series employs cutting-edge CGI animation and state-of-the-art archaeological technologies to bring these secrets from icy tombs to life. Each episode aims to shed light on forgotten treasures, lost relics, and dark secrets concealed within some of Earth’s coldest regions.
In one striking example showcased during this installment of “Secrets in the Ice,” Danish archaeologists unearthed an ancient stone hut at the base of a massive glacier in Southern Greenland. Speculation arises about whether this site might have once been inhabited by a Viking seer who practiced black magic.
Meanwhile, Siberian archaeologists take risks against local warnings as they excavate a mummified body adorned with fantastical tattoos. In doing so, they confront questions about buried treasure and the potential repercussions of disturbing ancient resting places.
“Secrets in the Ice” offers a unique blend of adventure, history, and scientific exploration as it unveils long-forgotten secrets entombed within ice. Tune in to Sky History on Monday 5 February 2024 at 9:00pm.
