31看世界 - 史前系列：冰河時期 - 冰封世界
在冰河時期史詩故事的終章中，我們探索大融化如何終結了冰河時期，徹底改變了我們所知的世界。Steve Backshall 與Michaela Strachan 尋找失落大陸的征途——這片神秘土地曾在冰河時期結束前連接英國與歐洲大陸。史提夫將深潛海底，搜尋海床曾為陸地及歐洲繁榮中心的證據。然而當史提夫潛入深海時，他的發現遠超預期。
回到陸地，Michaela深入調查這片古老大陸的秘密，試圖解開其沉沒之謎。她發現在距今不足一萬年前，一場史無前例的天災變塑造了北海，永久分割了英國與歐洲。這場浩劫或許正是推動早期人類文明躍進的關鍵轉折點。
Steve深入研究早期人類如何快速適應新的水世界，創造出異於今日的船舶的獨特水上載具。當史提夫親自測試這些遠古船隻時，其性能表現令他震驚。
同一時間，在北極，Michaela與英國南極調查局攜手合作，從偏遠冰川深處鑽取珍貴的冰芯。這些冰層樣本將揭示全球氣候變遷的關鍵訊息。令人驚異的是，Michaela發現氣候暖化竟可能是觸發新冰河時期的理想條件。
倘若地球再度墜入冰封世界，人類物種將如何求存？Steve展開探索之旅，與一位深諳末日威脅的生存專家會面；Michaela則會帶我們造訪北極的末日準備基地，一座位於冰層深處，專為確保人類在末世浩劫後的延續而建地下堡壘。
In the epic conclusion to the Ice Age story we discover how the Great Thaw brought the end of the Ice Age and changed the world as we know it. Steve Backshall and Michaela Strachan go in search of a long lost land that once connected the UK to mainland Europe before the Ice Age ended. Steve will dive beneath the waves hunting for signs that the sea floor was once land and the thriving hearty of Europe. But when Steve goes deep beneath the waves, he finds more than he bargained for…
Back on dry land, Michaela is on a hunt to find out more about this ancient land and wants to know how it flooded. She discovers that less than 10,000 years ago there was a natural disaster of epic proportions that helped form the North Sea and cut the UK off from Europe permanently. But this disaster may have been the catalyst for early humans to develop further.
Steve explores how early humans quickly adapted to their newly flooded world by developing watercraft unlike any we see on the rivers today. As Steve tests out these ancient boats he’s shocked by the results.
Meanwhile, deep in the Arctic, Michaela is working with the British Antarctic Survey as they drill for Ice Cores from a remote glacier. The ice they recover could reveal how the climate is changing around the globe. Bizarrely Michaela discovers how a warming world may actually create the perfect conditions to trigger a new Ice Age.
But if the world were plunged into the deep freeze again, how might we as a species cope? Steve goes in search of answers and meets a survival expert who understands the terrible dangers we may face; and Michaela visits a site in the Arctic where they are preparing for doomsday. She’s at an underground bunker beneath the ice that is working on ensuring a means for humanity to survive after an apocalyptic event.
