The sound of the wind in the taut sails, a struggle against the elements in the harsh polar seas, the northern lights, months of wintering in the icy silence - the perilous sea voyages are always accompanied by a spirit of romance and adventure. Unique sleds, resilient huskies, fur sleeping bags, supplies of chocolate and powdered milk, as well as books and classical music - it's necessary to foresee hundreds of different details to ensure that the path to the dream doesn't suddenly end. And heroism, the desire for victory, belief in one's strength are needed to achieve the goal as much as good preparation and a reliable team.
You will learn the history of polar exploration and the discovery of the South Pole from the first-hand account of perhaps the main hero of those events, the celebrated "Fram," the first ship to venture so far north and south on the planet.
