Plot.
Seasons 1 & 2.
A repair team is sent to discover the source behind a mysterious signal coming from a remote Arctic research station in Svalbard, Norway, documentation of which - including audio recordings, video recordings, unsent emails and written notes - are presented by the Documentarian, who narrates the series, in roughly chronological order to the listener.
Following the arrival of the team at the station, Outpost Fristed, and the suspiciously easy repair of the station's malfunctioning equipment, the team is trapped by a heavy blizzard that fails to subside. Realising that their situation is potentially more complicated than first thought, the team's situation begins to unravel following the discovery of a service hatch in the storage bunker, which leads, through a lengthy cave system, to an ancient village trapped underneath a glacier to the East of the station.
Following the village's discovery, the team is subjected to a number of mysterious horrors, including the fall and later abduction of their geologist, Dr. Karina Schumacher Weiß, the sabotage of the Outpost's generator, the appearance of deep, five-fingered scratch marks on the station's exterior, and the presence of a human heart and full set of teeth found inside one of the small stone boxes forming the floor of part of the village. Forced to come up with a plan for escape, the team is eventually trapped inside the ancient village, and attempt to escape through the cave systems within and beneath it.
Season 3.
An archaeological team is assembled to examine a new site recently discovered in the Patagonian Andes.
Season 4.
A new team is sent to rescue the stranded Patagonian archaeological team.
