Far above the Arctic Circle lies one of the last true frontiers on Earth, Greenland’s remote and rugged north. In this visually stunning documentary, A Remote Frontier follows a team of scientists and explorers as they journey into an untouched wilderness in search of caves that predate the existence of the Greenland ice sheet. From frozen deserts to alpine meadows, from towering cliffs to unexplored caverns, this film reveals a hidden world with secrets from a warmer past, and urgent messages for our planet’s future.
