Sub-Zero Expander

The Sub-Zero Expander is a device intended to replenish the polar ice caps. Depending on your point of view, it either doesn't work, or it works too well. It has an extremely robust power supply.

"Tip of the Iceberg"
In 1966, the Sub-Zero Expander was being transported aboard the S.S. Isolde to Griffin Rock when it was somehow triggered, encasing the ship in ice. The ship remained that way for nearly fifty years, when it was discovered drifting near Griffin Rock. Blades, Dani and Cody boarded the ship and discovered the Expander still operating, and when Blades attempted to switch it off, he was instantly frozen by it. The device was later jostled further by Doctor Morocco in the process of extracting the ship's cargo, and overloaded so much that it exploded, flash-freezing the sea in a radius of five miles.
