Ice station mystery surrounds attack

In this special ZWN report I travel to the beautiful wilderness of northern of Alaska. To Nome, the finishing point of the brutal Iditerod trail sled dog challenge. I have been assigned to try to unravel the mystery surrounding the recent slaughter of nine workers at the ill fated Ice Station Pardue research facility.
