第二集，勘探行動持續推進。我們將揭曉：1990年代「南極暴龍」冰冠龍（Cryolophosaurus）與長達7米的草食性動物——冰川龍（Glacialisaurus）的重大發現，如何讓這片曾被視為生命荒漠的冰原大陸，重新點燃世人的探索熱情；並呈現新證據，指出堅韌的原始哺乳動物水龍獸（Lystrosaurus）可能透過休眠熬過極地黑暗寒冬與劇毒氣候劇變；最終揭示六千六百萬年前，小行星撞擊地球後，南極恐龍與史前生物的真正命運歸宿。
In the second of two episodes, the expedition continues apace. We find out how the great discovery in the 1990s of the Cryolophosaurus, dubbed the T-Rex of Antarctica, and a 25-foot-long plant eater, the Glacialisaurus, lead to a renewed interest in a continent that was once thought to be largely devoid of life. And reveal how new evidence that a tough proto-mammal, Lystrosaurus, may have hibernated to survive dark polar winters and toxic climate upheaval; and, ultimately, reveal what happened to the Antarctic dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures after the infamous asteroid struck the earth 66 million years ago.
