'The expedition enters a no-man’s land formed 100 million years ago when Australia was still attached to Antarctica, and dinosaurs ruled the super-continent. But the canyon has more prehistoric and dangerous species than anyone could have possibly imagined.

'Trapped and terrified, unarmed and unable to communicate topside, the team’s extraction deadline is six long hours away.

'The frantic race for survival is on.'
