frozen wilderness

Icy desolate expanse

A frozen wilderness is a vast, uninhabited expanse of ice, snow, and extreme cold—places like the Arctic tundra, Antarctic interior, or remote subarctic regions.

The phrase emphasizes both the harsh climate and the absence of human settlement: They trekked across the frozen wilderness for weeks without seeing another soul.
