På denne reisen i en mikroskopisk verden, introduserer utforsker og kunstner Ariel Waldman oss for karismatiske skapninger som holder til under isen i Antarktis. Waldman viser oss at dette karrige området egentlig er en polar oase full av liv, med alt fra koselige bjørnedyr til geometriske alger av glass. Vi må bare vite hvor vi skal lete.
