The hidden ravines and extreme temperatures of the South Pole make it a deadly place to explore, yet after claims that American explorers have finally conquered its Northern counterpart, the vast and icy Antarctic stands alone as the last place on Earth untouched by man. The Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, having already planned and secured financial support for an expedition to the North Pole, now desperately pivots to the South Pole in a bid to resolve “the last great problem” of Polar exploration. Amundsen’s team now seeks to achieve what no other has done before: reach the South Pole and return to tell the tale. All before the rival British expedition does so.
