How will history view Roald Amundsen? Will he be remembered for his daring deeds, his discipline, or merely his deception? Bold, secretive and utterly uncompromising, renowned Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen will stop at nothing to execute his latest plan -- to be first to reach the southernmost point on the globe. Haunted by the prospect of his rival Captain Scott scooping the prize, Amundsen pushes himself and his men beyond the bounds of human experience and ever deeper into the Antarctic unknown, where penetrating cold and uncharted obstacles reign supreme. The stakes are high. Skis and dogs will lend him speed. But can he count on his men's loyalty to the very end?
