Fairly straightforward thriller set in the Arctic.

A british special forces Dr. manages to get onboard a US submarine going to the rescue of a Arctic research station that has run into difficulties. Supposedly a metrological research station special forces are interested because the real purpose is spying against russian intercontinental missile launches. Several acts of carelessness or maybe sabotage seem to indicate that maybe the russians are aware of it's true nature and that of the rescue attempt. It's all down to the Dr. to save the day.

Average but fun. The characters are all a bit thin, especially the stereotypical americans and the russian agents, but there is enough accidents, and drama to keep the plot rolling along. The clues are there for you to work out in advance who is the russian agent - but until the grand denoucement at the end you are unlikely to do so. ( )

A British meterological station is in danger, and those staffing it will soon be dead without help. An American nuclear sub is sent out to help them, along with a doctor that is an expert in the sort of afflictions they may have developed.

However, this American sub also has an underlying spook mission to go along with the rescue. This hidden agenda causes a hell of a lot of problems and casualiies throughout.

The Dolphin, pride of America's nuclear fleet, is the only submarine capable of attempting the daring rescue of a British meteorological team trapped on a polar ice cap.
The officers aboard the Dolphin know well the hazards of such an assignment. What they do not know is that the rescue attempt is really a cover-up for one of the most desperate espionage missions of the Cold War-and that the Dolphin is heading straight for sub-zero disaster-facing hidden sabotage, murder...and a deadly, invisible enemy....
