Permafrost also isn't typically a bunch of frozen ice caves. It would be frozen ground, aka mud. Glaciers would be composed of ice, but you likely wouldn't see a large cave section of just crystal clear ice like that right near the surface. The section of ice would be all mixed with rock and mud. They also kept referring to it as permafrost and not a glacier.
It's like they designed the set after hearing the term "ice cave" and didn't actually bother to look at a picture of what that looks like.

None of it made any sense. They entered the ice cave by breaking through what looks to be ocean ice, and then ended up in a snow and ice tunnel directly under the research station that was clearly built on solid ground.
The dudes were found killed by a "slab avalanche" while out on the ice? This was the final official cause of death, despite the look of fear, tangle of bodies, and clothes folded on the open ice that is not on a mountain, where a slab avalanche would actually occur.
And then you have the writing. Oh, please, Jodi, show indignation one more time when spirituality is mentioned. Really let us know you don't believe in that. We didn't get the picture in episode 1. I was so disappointment she had such trash to work with.
Or the ridiculousness of the mine, which I assume twirled it's own mustache as it listened to the research station dude telling them to dump MORE toxic pollutants because it helps them find a cure for who the #### cares anymore for reasons that are never explained. Like, if it was hot water discharge melting the permafrost it would make a fraction more sense. But why bother.
The whole thing was a series of mcguffins that were dropped as soon their usefulness expired in the march towards a nonsensical reveal of a commando revenge mission that made even less sense than the ice caves.
