"Noose of Ice" is the 24th episode of the Supermarionation television series Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons. It was first broadcast in the United Kingdom on 12 March 1968 on ATV Midlands, was written by Tony Barwick and directed by Ken Turner. In this episode, the Mysterons target a facility mining vital metal for a new Earth Space Fleet.
A new Earth Space Fleet is under construction to take the "war of nerves" directly to the Mysterons on Mars. To reduce transit time, each vessel will need to withstand higher stresses, so the rare and strong metal Tritonium is being used as hull fortification. Usually a laboratory element, the Space Administration has started to mine a natural supply of Tritonium on the ocean floor at the North Pole. When the Mysterons threaten to sabotage the Space Fleet, Colonel White sends Captains Scarlet and Blue from Cloudbase to be briefed by the Space Administration commander-in-chief, General Rebus, in New York. The officers then travel to Hotspot Tower mine in the Arctic and are introduced to the controller, Rhodes.
