Third of six films of early exploration introduced by Duncan Carse
Home of the Blizzard (1912) This film of an expedition towards the South Pole contains some of the earliest footage of Antarctica.
The expedition endures the dark polar winter, with gales gusting to 150 miles an hour - the 'home of the blizzard' indeed, and in spring the explorers set out on their survey expeditions -
Journeys from which two men never return.
