About Steve's Chilly Visit

Forget everything you thought you knew about the cold because Modern Marvels: Deep Freeze is taking the technology of cold to the extreme. Think your home freezer is “cool”? How about a 12-story unit filled with 135 million pounds of ice cream? We’ll see arctic vaults that store millions of different seeds and learn how scientists have mastered temperatures of -200˚ F… and below. We’ll turn the gases we breathe into liquids. We’ll explore how the cold not only preserves and chills, but shatters rubber tires, strengthens steel, and fuels the rockets that have taken us into the deep freeze of outer space. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any colder, we’ll take you inside Alcor where researchers keep cadavers on ice in hopes of future revival. It’s time to chill out on Modern Marvels: Deep Freeze.
