The hair-raising story of the attempt by three Swedes to reach the North Pole by balloon in 1897. The film is based on authentic images, letters, diaries and photos-among them also those sensationally found in 1930 at the rediscovery of the expedition on a remote island in the Polar Sea after 33 years in the grip of the ice.
