A dramatised account of the Andrge Polar Expedition by TIM ROSE PRICE
In 1930, the crew of the sailing vessel the ' Bratvaag' discovered the death camp of the Swedish explorers who 33 years before had set out to be the first men to reach the North Pole by means of a hydrogen-filled balloon. Among the finds at the death camp was the diary of Salomon August Andree - a personal record of the expedition's struggle for survival on the ice of the Polar Sea.
