He is aided by Sergeant Koovuk, an Alsaka native Eskimo also in the U.S. military service. Along the way there is an ice-floe evacuation, an air-ice rescue and a fight with a polar bear.

Who’s in it. Red Snow stars Guy Madison as Lt. Phil Johnson, Mala as Sgt. Koovuk, Carole Mathews as Lt. Jane and Gloria Saunders as Alak, among others.
