  In the 19th century, the Arctic remained a vast and unexplored territory. Although costly in resources and men, expeditions are mounted to try to discover its mysteries. But no expedition has yet crossed the ice belt. George W. Melville is an American Navy officer obsessed with the Great North. Won over by the enthusiasm of De Long, commander of the USS Jeannette expedition, Melville became his chief engineer. He takes part in this journey with the aim of reaching the North Pole. The crew must fight against the weather and the cold to chart their course. But once trapped, what weight does men’s ambition have in the face of the elements?
