Cold

Episode 3 of 4

Donal MacIntyre explores extreme cold weather. He is buried alive, frozen solid and meets those that have survived the deadliest winter weather, from avalanches to ice storms.

From the North Pole, Donal MacIntyre takes a journey south with winter as it brings death and destruction into our world. He is buried alive, frozen solid and plunged into the lethal white heart of winter. After a refreshing dip under the ice in the frozen Arctic he beds down alone in a snowhole in the remotest part of Greenland, and is tested to the limit in a freezer to see how much cold his body can take.

Donal meets those that have survived the deadliest winter weather, from avalanches to ice storms, and visits Mount Washington, known as the home of the world's worst weather. He discovers why more people die of cold in London than any other city in Europe, before climbing cold's most incredible monument, a glacier.
