In the icy desert of Nunatak, the Tarpa mine is cut off from the outside world, and the winter supplies have been lost due to an accident. The young Takeru must embark on an odyssey through the ice to save his comrades. His only emotional support is a silver bracelet that his mother once gave him. "This science fiction adventure in the style of Jules Verne was for me the royal road to comics," says Jiro Taniguchi about "Ice Age Chronicle of the Earth.".
