Die Männer der USS «Arluk», eines kleinen Schiffs der amerikanischen Küstenwache, fahren einen Einsatz, der im Zweiten Weltkrieg nicht seinesgleichen hat: Im ewigen Eis der Arktis, in der bedrohlichen wie atemberaubend schönen Eisberg-Welt rund um Grönland machen sie Jagd auf Wetterschiffe und -stationen der deutschen Marine.
