Plot edit

Under the Alaskan permafrost organic materials have been rotting for thousands of years. As the permafrost thaws, volatile liquid methane and gases are released causing a succession of destructive earthquakes.

A family is on the hunt for a Christmas tree when their dog inexplicably runs away. There is an explosion of gas from under the ice and a fissure opens up causing an avalanche. The family has to run for their lives. Another tremor causes the ground to split open, creating a deep ravine that splits the family apart - the parents on one side and two children on the other. The father tells the children to go to the summit and wait for rescue. The children head up then find out there is a storm on the way. The younger brother suggests they keep moving until they can stop at a safe place

The military based around the mountain investigate the tremors, at first believing them to be earthquakes until they find that there have been no tectonic movements and nothing shows on the Richter scale. They then think it could have been a volcanic eruption but this also proves false. It is a race against time to stop the liquids and gases before they lead to a catastrophic explosion that threatens the planet.[1]
