Join the Sea Hunters as they dive amidst the spectacular backdrop of the Canadian Rocky Mountains in one of the country's most beautiful National Parks to explore the remains of an amazing top secret WWII experiment. In 1942, Geoffrey N. Pyke, an eccentric British genius, made a proposal that captured the imagination of Lord Mountbatten and Sir Winston Churchill. Pyke suggested the idea of building a huge aircraft carrier made of ice. The proposed dimensions of the final aircraft carrier were to be, 2000 feet long by 300 feet wide.

The carrier was to be made of a remarkable product called 'pykrete'...a mixture of ice and wood pulp, producing incredible strength and resilience.
