Forget everything you thought you knew about the cold because Modern Marvels: Deep Freeze takes the technology of cold to the extreme. Think your home freezer is "cool"? How about a 12-story ice box filled with 135 million pounds of ice cream? Take a tour of arctic vaults that store billions of seeds and learn how scientists have mastered temperatures of minus 100 degrees Fahrenheit... and below. See how engineers turn the gases we breathe into ultra cool liquids and blistering cold solids. Explore how the cold not only preserves and chills, but shatters rubber tires, creates super-sized energy and fuels the rockets that have taken us into the deep freeze of outer space. And just when you think it can't get any colder, go inside Alcor where researchers keep cadavers chilled to the bone in hopes of future revival. It's time to chill out on Modern Marvels: Deep Freeze.
