Synopsis:

The film follows the attempts of the Norwegian polar explorer Roald Amundsen and his American partner Lincoln Ellsworth to reach the North Pole in two flying boats, the N-24 and N-25. With a crew of four the expedition started from the Spitsbergen islands on 21st May 1925. The journey turned unexpectedly dramatic after the N-24 crashed in the ice. The whole crew then had to make it back to civilization on board one plane designed for only three passengers... The film was distributed in different versions in a number of countries. This restored Norwegian version offers splendid footage of arctic landscapes, animal life and the happy return of the explorers to Spitsbergen and Oslo. With an historical introductory paper by professor Jan Anders Diesen, Lillehammer University College.

The story of Rauld Amundsen's epic journey to the South Pole.
