I have no feeling in my feet.

Do not think about it. It will be alright.

We are soon there. CREW

BASED ON REAL PERSONS AND EVENTS

In England Amundsen is believed to be dead

Leave what you took and disappear! Away!

- Who are you? - Who are you?

Sorry, I'm ... Roald's brother.

So?

I'm Leon.

- Forgive me! - Sorry yourself.

- I thought nobody was at home. - I didn't realize ...

Bess Magids. I arrived yesterday.

- Didn't he say anything? - No.

I ...

I'm sorry I infringed. Sleep on now.

No, that's fine. I ...

I can not sleep. I still go to Canadian time.

- How do you know my brother? - We have known each other for a couple of years.

Well, there is no news at all?

No.

I know I saw a wine bottle here somewhere.

Personally, I prefer whiskey, But it's better than nothing.

He would fly over the pole and return in good time to meet me.

Instead, it was Wisting who received me.

- Good man, Wisting. - He seemed more concerned than we were.

- So strange to look at you ... - Why?

Forgive me. I did not like that you were especially alike first, but ...

So he hasn't mentioned me?

Yes that he has many brothers.

- But he hasn't talked about me? - No but...

- We're not talking family and stuff. - But he talked about the expeditions?

- The Northwest Passage and the South Pole ...? - Sure.

Nothing about me.

No but... You did not participate in any of them.

No.

Roald and I are not talking to each other.

- Not a few years back. - Yeah? What happened?

- Sorry. You do not have to answer. - It does not matter.

We were four brothers, but usually only the two of us.

- Did Roald talk about our father? - He owned some ship ...?

And he was a ... adventurer?

Maybe no adventurer, But he came up with great gifts.

I remember when he came with the globe ...

What is it in the middle?

It's the air coming in to the flame.

No. What is it who is there really?

No one knows that. No one has been so far north.

Some believe that there is a country there -

- which has not yet been discovered.

Roald stared on the holes at the poles.

Everything else had already been mapped by that layer, but there were holes.

The areas were everything that remained to be discovered.

Roald was obsessed with the poles.

Look! Four-degree!

He started experimenting with polar conditions.

Good night.

You also.

- A little more! - You can read more tomorrow.

Good night, Roald.

Our father died at sea, many hundred miles from home.

A few years later our mother became ill.

Leon, take care of your brother. You're a big brother, take care of him.

When Fridtjof Nansen returned in triumph -

- after that, who first man, have skied over Greenland -

- No one could stop us.

From that day, Roald and I knew exactly what we were going to be.

On our first test trip on Hardangervidda we ended up in a blizzard.

I went in the circle all night not to succumb.

In the morning, Roald was gone.

Roald !!

Instead of going in a circle had he taken shelter in a snow cave -

- but the temperature dropped during the night, so he woke up in a coffin of ice.

Roald!

His reaction made me realize that he had something I didn't have.

I didn't know what.

I just knew that I did not have it myself.

You saved his life.

I'm just waiting that he should plunge through the door.

Please, keep talking. It's nice to hear you talking.

- The Northwest Passage ...? - Yes.

Roald was the mate of the first ship who wintered in Antarctica -

- And after that he got the madman idea of ​​using a fishing boat -

- where the big expeditions had failed.

- You weren't with? - No no.

I was at home and managed the financing.

- Roald was steamed with ice. - And you with the creditors.

The first to get through last bit of the Northwest Passage ...

... the promising, young Norwegian explorer: Roald Amundsen!

ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL MEMBERSHIP LONDON

Thanks. It is...

Thanks. -It is...

It is great honor to be here. Thanks.

I would also like to thank you Dr. Nansen.

I didn't stand here today if it weren't for ...

... your advice and your support. Thanks.

During the search after the Northwest Passage -

- we spent two winters in a small, fully isolated port, Uqsuqtuuq.

We named the place to Gjøahavn.

A little easier to pronounce ...

Here we got the opportunity -

- to meet and study netsilik-Inuit.

They gave us invaluable knowledge how to survive in arctic conditions.

They travel freely across the ice -

- with very light sleighs and polar dogs.

This method proved crucial to us -

-When we explored the area.

The way of life of the Netsilik Inuit -

- is unique and highly specialized.

They are among the last indigenous people -

- who have not yet had contact with missionaries from the south.

But not long before ...!

It is...

I've heard people say many things about the Inuit.

Like they're lazy.

But they are not lazy. They are wise.

It knows that if you hurry, so sweat man -

- and in freezing temperatures It can mean death.

Roald had learned survival techniques of the Inuit -

- And then the dream would be achieved to become the first in the North Pole.

But the British did not take this "primitive survival technique" seriously -

- Pride plans on an own expedition.

A well-executed lecture, Amundsen.

Englishmen are skeptical for greenland dogs.

They prefer seats ...!

Mr Scott!

- My friend, how are you? - Nice to meet you.

- You've met ...? - No.

- Roald Amundsen. -Robert Falcon Scott. - Pleasant.

Congratulations.

- I'm very impressed. - It is my pleasure.

The stories of British explorers changed my life.

John Franklin ... We had never succeeded without the British pioneers.

But someone must take the last step -

- and with a small fishing boat ...! Who had believed it?

She was tired of the end, but ...

And you ... Ambassador Nansen?

I suppose you are ready to give you out again?

Towards the pole ...?

What will it be? North or South?

Unfortunately, I am bound by diplomacy.

Of course. After all, there is more important things than exploring ice.

Gentlemen.

A pleasure.

- Is he going north or south? - Remember:

The most important thing in polar research is not who comes first -

- without exploring the polar pool extent, depth and ... character.

Everyone is planning expeditions.

We are short of time.

Should we travel 3,000 km in 100 days, We must reduce weight and increase speed.

The Englishmen have motor vehicles. Scott has tested in Finse. He must believe in it.

I believe in polar bears as draft animals.

But I probably do not invest in it anyway.

There is only one thing that is sufficiently proven:

Greenland Dogs. Many greenland dogs.

Suddenly Nansen's wife became seriously ill -

- and we saw an opportunity to borrow his ship "Fram".

- Get out! We don't want a visit. - I understand. I'm sorry.

My name is Roald Amundsen.

Your father knows who I am -

- so if he gets to know it's me, Perhaps that is changing things.

You should get "Fram".

On two terms. E

Hjalmar Johansen come in and ask for money -

- But I am who is in debt to him.

He is worth another chance.

I didn't think Johansen was capable ... He drinks well?

Hjalmar will join.

And two?

"Front" should not be used to a pointless race against the North Pole.

You travel in the service of research.

Research. Grasped?

"Black men's tent, 20 pairs of hickory skis, 40 bamboo items "-

- "5 pans, 2 sixteen, 1 spiral compass, 2 binoculars, 2 photographic devices "...

- ... "and 3 hypsometers." - Correct.

The challenge of speed is -

- that at a lower temperature than minus 25 can the snow change consistency -

-and become like sand.

We solve it with a thin ice layer beneath the fellows, as the Inuit do.

But the weight is everything! We have to go down to less than one ton per sled.

- Then we have the dogs. - What do you mean?

As we travel, weight decreases. Then we need fewer dog dogs.

Greenland dogs are cannibals, so so will be good supplies for both us and them.

This is nature. It is no worse with dog than pig.

- You think it's a difference? - Most people think so.

It's nothing nice to eat up loyal traveling companions.

But it's about if we want to come first or not. Then it will be easy.

Wisting!

Then we started to gather the crew.

- Was it 200 meters? - 210.

210? Yes, you should see -

- that you will be the first to discover new land up in the ice.

You must have that honor, Captain.

If we do not succeed, then there is Alaska ...

Some that no one has seen.

There are so many competing expeditions to all information ...

What is it?

Captain...

I arrived as fast as I could.

Is anything wrong?

Roald?

What does it say?

"The North Pole reached."

Frederick Cook? "Cook left Navigation diaries in Greenland. "

- He has no evidence. - The expedition is dead.

- If he wasn't there ... - If he doesn't have proof ...

Roald is right.

As long as they claim it, is the news value gone.

Then no one wants to fund the expedition.

It's over.

We continue. We go to the South Pole.

We just do it.

Sure, good. But how then?

We keep it secret. And so we are investing everything we have. Nobody knows.

Not a word.

That means we have to lie to everyone. Nansen, of course, but ...

Even for the king.

But it...

... we should not think about.

Now we should think about what happens -

- If this goes well.

Think about it. What if!

Hi, Hjalmar.

Well ...

You don't think well take that cabin north?

It will be crushed in the ice masses, screwed into the sea.

So, are you not sure about finding land?

- Do you have rats from Kristiania? - Sure.

Something should be used for the forces.

Yes I...

I'm a completely different man up there in the ice.

Ask Nansen.

When he got back pain I have to carry him.

Did you know that?

Well, it is. We are all better men up there.

Yes.

Follow.

- A little in the oldest team, maybe. - Two years older than me.

I have to stay. It is not fully financed yet.

I talked to a man about radio ...

I can't have a radio.

Then Nansen will contact and tell me to turn around.

When should we say that?

Yes...

When it's too late.

There are many who have wondered over a lot with this expedition.

Why we should have a cabin up on the Arctic drift ice.

Why we brought it 90 Greenland dogs from Kristiansand -

- instead of picking them up in Alaska on the way.

The truth is that...

... we have no plans to go north again ...

... when we round Cape Horn.

We will continue south.

The British are planning to incorporate Antarctica into the empire.

Robert Scott is on his way with 65 men -

-motorized vehicles and horses.

It may seem like the only thing he has forgotten to think about ...

... are us.

We are who will be the first ...

... at the South Pole.

So now I really need just know I have ... full support.

And that those who desire to participate in this -

- Stretching up your hand.

Good. Then we say so.

Good luck.

"At this moment, is informed King Haakon on the change of plans. "

"I beg you not to judge me too hard."

"I assure you one day resume the original plan "-

- "with scientific investigations of the currents at the North Pole. "

There is no expedition anymore, without a race.

"This is Antarctica."

"The coldest place in the world. A desert of ice. "

"The first thing we do is travel the cottage, Framheim, in Valbukten. "

"Here we will winter after that we placed depots against the pole point. "

"When the sun returns after dark time "-

- "we begin our 1,300 kilometers long journey towards the South Pole. "

"There is no map, almost no one information on what to expect. "

"Just the certainty that here" ...

... "no people have ever been."

FIRST TRY SEPTEMBER 8, 1911

Minus 56!

We must turn around!

We are not collected!

Each one returns for himself.

Tell the others!

All is well?

Yes! We're coming!

Well ... You took time.

It was too early to go out.

- You left us. You abandoned your men! - I gave clear message.

Everyone had their own responsibility to find home.

You Don't Leave Their Men -

-to die!! In a blizzard!

Nansen had never done that.

This was not an expedition.

It was panic.

You went out too early to get a head start before Scott.

Thus...

Scott ...

Scott has been preparing for four years.

Yes...

He's taking Shackleton's old route over the mountains, while we go here.

In a terrain where no one ever set foot.

We could just as well have been on a strange planet, and then you think ...

... that it would be risk-free?

Have I expressed myself unclear?

Is that so -

- there are some here -

- who have not understood what exactly are we doing?

- No. - No...

Because in that case -

- Maybe it was useful, Johansen -

- if you served us, because you are so full of him now -

- What was Nansen's motto when he crossed Greenland?

What was it, Johansen?

"Death" ...

... "or the west coast of Greenland."

Yes.

So what do you think ours is?

Johansen.

I have...

You are not following further.

You map the area around King Edward's Land -

- under the command of the priest.

Why are you telling this?

So you get to know more about the man you have a relationship with.

Have you ever found yourself in arctic conditions?

No.

- Running dog sled in snowstorm? - So how?

I have.

SECOND TRY October 20, 1911

Is that going?

Wisting!

Come on!

Mount Bjaaland.

Mount Hassel.

Mount Hanssen. Mount Wisting.

Mount Presterud.

And Mount Johansen.

Yes, we only get ... Get started with this.

Should I begin?

It looks good.

No thanks. I'm not that hungry.

Have you ever seen a man with scurvy?

First you start to behave strangely. Weak and tired.

Then ... the gums begin to bleed.

The teeth come loose. Then start old wounds and crimes to go up again.

And you, Wisting ...?

You sit and think about ...?

Just that ... here we are.

In the world's largest wasteland. As big as...

... all over North America.

And the fire there ...

... is the only heat source on the whole continent.

Except Scotts.

How far is it left?

I think we are very, very close.

That is exactly what I have.

- What are you wearing? - Wait ...

I double check.

According to what I understand, that's right.

Yes...

Yes, but then ... Then we say it.

Come on, we'll take it.

Look at the flag.

Which direction is north now?

- Well, right? - No, then.

I say that.

Funny how it is connected.

And that's probably not -

- as ever been in one place more diametrically opposed to the actual target.

It's also funny.

Let him be.

I wonder where the English are.

"Dear Captain Scott."

"When you're probably the first one who come here after us "-

- "I ask you to forward this letter to King Haakon VII. "

"If you were to use any of what we left in the tent, so just take it. "

"Even the sled outside can be useful. "

"Sincerely and the desire for a safe return home. "

Telegram to Amundsen.

What does it say?

"Agrbf taxpayer ..."

It's a code!

What does it say?

"We did it!"

You know what, Nicolay?

I never liked the service.

- We can't have a deadly tableware. - We can buy a new one!

Amundsen at the South Pole!

Amundsen at the South Pole!

ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL LOVE, LONDON

Gentlemen...

Normally we don't let in ladies here -

- But because little Mary has written such a fine poem -

- I thought we can make an exception.

A simple and small cross distinguishes the grave from them

whose name, however, should live forever Oh, England, the hero's home

Captain Scott and his brave men reached the South Pole on January 17 -

- just to find out that Mr. Amundsen had arrived first.

One can imagine how ...

... lurked our bold countrymen must have felt under return.

Thanks to Scott's diaries We know exactly what happened.

We know Mr. Amundsen wrote a letter to the King of Norway -

- as he wanted Captain Scott would submit on his behalf.

He obviously confused our officers with postmen ...!

Our guest was lucky with the whole trip.

Good weather. Good health.

Transport who did not break down.

We congratulate you on that.

Captain Scott, a true British hero ...

... who drew his own sled ...

... must have lost an uneven fight against illness and hunger ...

But he refused to go to barbarism.

He was a gentleman.

Until the bitter end.

Let me spend a bowl.

For the real heroes on this expedition:

The dogs.

You certainly plan for a moon journey, Mr. Amundsen?

- Charles Bennett. - Nice to happen, my friend.

Greet my wife.

But the people.

Kristine Elisabeth.

- Mrs. Bennett. An honor. - Call me Kiss.

And the honor is entirely on my side, Mr. Amundsen.

Excuse me.

I just have to say that the treatment you get by the British is shameful.

And that after such a triumph.

It was horrible to hear about Mr Scott and his men.

Terrible bad luck!

And so close to the rescue.

Yes ... When preparing everything ...

... when you have control of everything, then it is "lucky".

But when you neglect even the most necessary actions and suffering defeat -

- it's "bad".

- What do you mean? - Yeah, Scott ...

He was a great scientist. An excellent sportsman.

Nansen had told him to use skis and dogs -

- but still he insisted engines and ponies.

The British would like to conquer things ...

Yes, they do. But nature cannot be conquered.

It just doesn't.

You just have to be compliant.

He is well weak for married women.

- Are you? - Married?

Yes.

I know about Kiss.

And there have been others. Whatever? We are adults, both of them.

Do you think Roald is forgiving us taste one of the bottles from the South Pole?

Do you know who owns the house?

The only one who doesn't need it.

Kiss ...

Kiss ...

Can you hear me?

Honored Roald Amundsen.

We Norwegians are proud of -

- that you have sat the Norwegian flag on the South Pole -

- before the English.

It is impossible to imagine what this achievement has cost -

- of sacrifice, perseverance and heroism.

In the triumph it is allowed to forget -

- that the South Pole was not the target, but just one step along the way.

But Amundsen is for her word.

Next year it will carry through the Bering Strait, into ice -

- in cold and darkness -

- to research the polar currents and let's drift over the North Pole.

For at least five years.

It can happen almost superhuman -

- but Amundsen are you for it too.

Hurray!

Hurray!

Hurray!

Nansen believes that if the ship gets frozen in the ice -

- Then I can drive right up to the pole.

And what happens at the poles is crucial for the whole earth's climate.

- You have to find out more. - It's not what you want.

But that was the prerequisite for that to borrow "Fram".

- I didn't think he would persevere. - No ... Five years in the ice.

We don't have to worry about it.

That means nothing to us.

When we think of each other It is as if we are together.

I can feel you.

I can feel you.

I can feel you.

Right?

We have our wireless call. No one can take it away from us.

You...

You are mine. You are mine, mine, mine.

You will always feel that I am with you.

Always.

Roald was forced to try Nansen's theory -

- that it was possible to operate the polar ice right up to the North Pole.

So he ordered a new ship.

Specially built for himself. "Maud".

That ship cost much more than we owned.

Just a sensational success could save us from total bankruptcy.

And it turned out -

- It takes a long time to push against the pole.

Very long time.

Five months to the sunrise.

We have to go out and pick ice so the ship is not crushed.

- Looks good now, Captain? - No, we need more. Because it's here ...

Captain!

Captain! -Wisting! Come here!

UNKNOWN AREA

Bear!

Bear!

- Do you want some? - No, just do it!

I would be happy to.

This is going well.

SECOND YEAR IN ISEN

AJON ISLAND, THE EAST SIBIRIC SEA 2 250 KM FROM NORDPOLEN

Captain.

- Wearing mustache. - Yeah, I ... I'm doing it.

Tessem ... wants to leave the expedition.

The headache doesn't let go -

- and he still sleeps almost nothing.

How far is it to the telegraph station on Dikson Island? It will be closest to you?

About 70 miles.

It's not possible.

Knudsen is willing to accompany him.

Tessem ...?

We need to get off a round of mail to them at home.

- Would you be able to take responsibility for it? - Yes, Captain.

You and Knudsen get a dog team and is coming in four weeks. It goes fast.

You understand... It does something with a man to be ...

... stuck in the ice so long.

What do you mean?

Yes, I wish you welcome.

See here.

It has been quiet from your stay long now.

I go here and talk to you.

You have to answer.

I've transferred the house ...

... Villa Uranienborg ... for you.

So I know you always have a home.

Whatever happens.

THIRD YEAR IN ISEN

KAP SERDTSE CAM, CHAIR SEA 2,570 KM FROM NORDPOLEN

What happens?

I'm very sick.

Sverdrup, get the medical equipment.

Fish liver oil is never wrong.

Was it good?

This is so good.

We just have to Get to taste right away.

Do you want something like that?

No no...!

No no!

See here ...

Several playmates.

This is a very special person. Very special.

- What is it? - The father wants us to take her to Norway.

- To get an education. - Yes, but it ...

We can't bring everyone along.

Kakonita is orphaned, it's something totally different. We can't start with that.

We'll get out the movie from the South Pole tonight.

There are penguins there. They can't fly. They just walk around.

Lets see if it wants the barrel ... No.

Imagine when Kiss gets to meet them.

Then we become like a small family.

Sure, Nansen is right in its current theory. Absolutely.

It's just that five years in the ice ...

... is way too optimistic.

The expedition took too long. Roald lost focus.

He began to think in other ways, on technology, to reach the North Pole.

We have to.

We have to.

There is a country up there -

- with people, with ... A community.

We have to go to the North Pole and see it with your own eyes.

Girls!

Then he just went. He appointed Wisting as captain.

We had bet all our money in the ship. All.

We know nothing about this huge white area.

These 2.5 million square kilometers of frozen polar sea.

So we ...

... will fly there.

We will be the first to look down on the last of the earth -

- that has resisted every attempt to explore.

Of course we have no guarantees for -

- that we will find mainland up there.

But if we do -

- Then it will be one of the most important discoveries -

-In the history of the world.

He obtained two Junker plans, "Kristine" and "Elisabeth".

You know how it went.

They flew 30 meters, and then ...

Airplanes for $ 80,000 just ... left in the snow.

He...

He lost his grip. Sorry, but it was.

- You don't know him. - Excuse me?

You knew him once, but not anymore.

I probably know my brother better than anyone else.

I was there.

That was where we met. In Alaska.

In Deering. He didn't seem irrational.

- On the contrary. - You haven't heard the whole story yet.

Amundsen has given up the polar flight

Aline?

Hello my Name Is Engelbregt Digging.

We're just looking in to say -

- that we are the ones who should move in in the house down here.

So it was ...

There are several children here.

Hey! You have grown very much, I see.

Now greet two very nice girls.

I'll put the girls in school. They are fly girls.

Oh...!

From America.

Then we say goodbye to Uncle Leon. Should we say that? Goodbye.

I was worried about what he was doing.

He continued his hopeless romance with Kiss who lived in London with her husband.

And he made off with money we didn't have.

Roald ...?

What scary girls! When they start school, people should see.

Can we talk?

- Now? - Yes.

"Is Amundsen countable?"

It's good with dogs, they do not read newspapers.

You have to beat them when you were out there?

Should we do the same with the journalists?

Greenland Dogs is practically wild.

It was brutal, but otherwise they end up wanting.

I know you have ordered three new airplanes.

- I was going to tell you ... - You can't, you have to cancel the purchase.

Are you really going to fly again? So, as it did last?

- It was bad ... - Now you're talking about luck ?!

What were you thinking about those little plans? It's not science anymore.

It's ... sports.

- Dangerous. - Sports went well when you earned it.

- With the South Pole we had no choice. - I have no choice. I'm starting to age.

I don't have time to do things at Nansen's way now. Not even Nansen has time with it.

Someone will fly to the North Pole. So who comes first?

The plan was too small. We need something bigger, we can arrange that.

Come on!

I have...

Always, as long as I can remember, I have followed you from room to room.

I can't remember that you have ever come to me.

Can you?

What are you talking about?

I can live in Roald Amundsen's shadow, but not when you're doing this.

When you hide things ... Putting others at risk of life ...

- No life has been lost under me. - It depends on how you count.

You owe $ 20,000 for the previous aircraft you bought. Do you know that?

No.

Now you have bought new ones without consulting me. I can't get more money.

I have lent you $ 100,000 out of my own pocket, and then you give our house to Kiss ?!

- Yes, I want her to have a home. - A home?

She is one of England's richest women!

I have a family to think about.

It has been strictly speaking Kiss Bennett too.

I don't recognize you anymore.

Nobody does. What kind of captain is it -

- who abandons the expedition, comes home with two young children and lying to me?

Yes, I'm lying.

Sure, I do, Leon. What did you think?

That I told you everything? Like before?

How had it been then, Leon?

What?

What had I accomplished? if I had done that?

Nothing.

Because you just said no.

You no longer dare to.

You've been cowardly.

I ...

I can't take care your finances anymore.

I renounce all powers.

Tell who takes over, then I send my claims.

Leon!

And ... it was the last time I saw him.

Hello...!

Of course he didn't obey my advice, without ordering the aircraft machines.

Now he's ruined and disappeared.

I have some satisfaction.

It was a tragedy.

A nose.

He had no one.

The bankruptcy almost killed him.

Do you know someone else who had risen after it?

- It's just money, Leon. - What do you mean?

It's just money. He risks everything too to do something nobody has done before.

And you're talking about a house.

He might have given that impression, but it is not my brother who is the victim.

People were killed.

Yes, Hjalmar.

Not just Hjalmar, but several.

Parts of the crew. The "Maud" expedition lasted seven years.

Seven.

During that period there were several who left ... or disappeared.

How then disappeared?

Tessem and Knudsen.

They would travel 80 miles to the mainland, but never arrived.

Remains of a fire were found.

And charred legs.

It was assumed that one of them died and that the other cremated the body.

Later, a mummified body was found on the mainland, opposite Dikson Island.

Just three kilometers from the weather station.

He saw the lights as he fell.

He died of exhaustion.

Meanwhile, Roald bathed bath at luxury hotels and traveled around ...

He was stuck in the ice for three years!

Sverdrup, Olonkin and Wisting was left at "Maud" for seven years.

Until the ship was seized because of Roald's bankruptcy.

You know, Wisting ...

He had seven children -

- but three died of illness while he was stuck in the ice.

Still, he remained loyal to his captain.

He refused to sound creditors seized the ship.

They were adult men. They knew what they were doing.

- Then it was the little girls. - He loves them.

- He sent them away, Bess. - He was forced.

That's one thing you should know.

Roald told us about a letter. From Kiss.

He was waiting for her together with the girls.

She broke with him.

He had no choice. He had to send them away.

Who do you think took care of them? when he was gone?

It was usually us. He ignored them.

For two years they went to school here, and then...

... he put them on a ship to Siberia. Who does this?

You distort things.

Do you see the slogan? "Everything for Norway". "Everything for Roald" would be more appropriate.

- He just cares about one thing. - The North Pole.

Itself.

He's your brother. He's out there somewhere.

You should pray for him.

He is certainly satisfied now.

Door like martyr on the ice, surrounded by their men -

- as in our silly adventure books.

I do not understand you.

Why are you so angry?

- I told you that. - You say you hate him.

But here you are.

You thought he'd come back.

Right?

You wait!

That's why you're sneaking around here.

That's why you stay here next door.

You're angry with him because he can do without you.

Nonsense!

You're mad at Roald, because without him -

- You should have been wine importer or something.

And he had written history anyway.

- With or without you. - I don't need to listen.

POLAR SEA, 251 KM FROM NORDPOLEN

Dietrichson! Riiser-Larsen!

Ellsworth and Feucht ... Come here, everybody.

It is enough now.

Now...

We've done everything we can.

And you have done more than I could ever ask for.

We've been trying for weeks to build a runway.

The one we have is not nearly long enough.

But we have no more food, so it can work.

We did not go to the North Pole, but we will be home.

I've seen situations like this one stop well. Often.

It is as it is.

Amundsen.

They love you even more now when you emerged from the dead.

ROYAL LOCATION, OSLO

Nice to be seen again. Impressive!

Congratulations, Mr Amundsen. We feared the worst.

See you.

Captain!

Some gray hairs last.

- Remember to... - Yes, I'm married, I'll be discreet.

You can talk more later.

This, it was something special.

We'll take ...

You look good To be a dead man ... Captain.

How...?

It is...

... nice to have you here.

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

- Congratulations. - Thanks.

Thank you thank you.

We go.

Say ... Own Kiss Still all this?

You should not listen to my brother.

He doesn't understand himself like us.

He lives in a small world. And if it's about financing ...

I get money, I promise. I'm writing a book.

You saw them pay homage to me. I get money.

Do you think I care about money?

Do you think that is what it is about?

I ...

I want to say one thing.

It has always been easier for me than for the others ...

... to be alone out there.

For me...

... it's just beautiful.

But this time I was scared.

I thought I never should see you again.

You've started something which you must complete.

I understand that.

And when you did ...

Once you've seen what is beyond the North Pole ...

... I'll marry you.

But if I do ...

If I take out divorce ...

So promise ...

... that whatever we do ...

... we do together.

I promise.

I promise.

There is an ... Italian engineer -

- who has built ... an airship.

It is much safer. Like sitting in an armchair.

The problem is that Mussolini wants that it should be an Italian expedition.

- With me on board. Consider! - So you ... Wait. Shut up.

You're going to the North Pole in an armchair?

- I'm old. - I have noticed.

Do you think I'll find it up there?

Oh yes. That's what you've wanted throughout your life.

You never gave up.

Most give up their dreams.

Lets them die.

Not you.

And you dream bigger than everyone else.

You will find what you are looking for, I know.

And then...

And then...

And then?

Someone has to ...

...find out if Santa Claus really lives there.

But I refuse to sail under Italian flag.

AIRCRAFT NORWAY, ARKTIS May 11, 1926

Captain! Just minutes away.

- Have you seen anything? - No. Just ice.

Captain!

Are we there ...?

Attention! The clock is 22 minutes over midnight ...

... May 12, 1926.

And we have reached the North Pole.

Congratulations.

Ellsworth ...

Nobile ...

Mr Nobile, you should have done it without Captain Amundsen's help?

Amundsen is a great explorer, but it is an Italian airship -

-with Italian technology and financing.

That's why I'm planning a new expedition the airship "Italy" where I become captain.

Anyway, Titina?

I stood there, aboard the airship ...

With the Italian and the fucking dog.

And then suddenly ...

Suddenly it was ... over.

It was done.

Supernatant.

There were no more white spots on the map.

You're much more than that, Roald.

There remains much to do.

Medicine...

Technique...

Policy...

You're writing a book?

Who told you that?

Someone who cares about you.

Wisting?

He said you might be angry in the English. On Nobile.

Even on your own brother.

Then I thought, "Is there anybody worse time to write his autobiography? "

Fridtjof Nansen, always ready to help anyone.

What should it be called?

- "My life as a polar explorer". - Polar researcher ...

But think about what I said.

We are still dependent a good relationship with the English.

It's my experience ...

... that Englishmen on the whole ...

- ... is a race of bad losers. - That's exactly what I mean, Roald!

Do you know what my only wish is?

That Scott returned alive.

Then he had only been number two. Loser.

Instead, they made him a martyr, and me to the villain who beat him.

I won, but I became a villain.

I who have lived my life according to the strictest principles of honor!

I planned the South Pole so carefully that it looked simple.

The dumbest thing I've ever done.

A book is forever.

Leon?

Leon?

- Have you read clearly? - Yes.

He rubbishes everything and everyone.

Englishmen. Scott. Nobile.

Hardangervidda, where I saved his life ...

"I was practically infrared in an ice block. "

"I desperately struggled to be free, but without results. "

"I shouted at my" ...

... "companion."

That's all that remains of me. An unnamed companion.

Dear, do you cry?

The first to winter in Antarctica. The first one through the Northwest Passage.

The first at the South Pole. The first to sail the whole Arctic Ocean.

The first to sail through both the Northwest and the Northeast Passage.

And the crown of the work: First to fly across the Arctic between the North Pole and Alaska.

And thus the first on both poles. In short:

The greatest polar explorer of all time!

Wisting!

Captain?

Nansen, was ...?

Where is he? And the royal couple?

Unfortunately, they were prevented.

Because of the damn book. I knew it.

Bess is not here either.

She will come soon.

As you know, Umberto Nobile is out on a new expedition in the Arctic.

The airship has now disappeared.

A cyclone has put in -

- towards the west coast of Spetsbergen, and has probably brought the airship east.

They must be rescued from the air, however no airplane plan has previously passed the route.

I'll be the first.

Mr. Amundsen, everyone here wants to know, both international guests and Norwegians -

- if you intend to participate in the search for Nobile?

Yes. Immediately.

Amundsen?

Amundsen?

Congratulations. It was...

Bess Magids.

Amundsen. Captain Amundsen.

Well, Captain ...

Do you play poker?

What has happened?

He's gone, Bess.

He...

Nobile was reported missing, and Roald took an airplane and tried to find him.

Why?

The plane crashed.

Somewhere.

I'm sorry...

I should have been there.

I could have stopped him.

No one could.

Roald Amundsen disappeared June 18, 1928, 56 years old.

He was never found.

When Roald Never Returned -

- South Pole Day, December 14, his memorial day -

-and you kept two silent minutes.

Six years later Leon Amundsen died of bleeding ulcers.

After the engagement with Roald returned Bess to Canada.

She married and divorced twice. She died in 1971.

Kakonita and Camilla returned to East Siberia.

Later, they moved to Canada. They remained close friends.
