Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In 1909, Denmark's Alabama Expedition led by Captain Ejnar Mikkelsen was attempting to disprove the United States' claim to North Eastern Greenland, a claim that was rooted in the idea that Greenland was broken up into two different pieces of land. Leaving their crew behind with the ship, Mikkelsen sleds across the ice with his inexperienced crew member, Iver Iversen. The two men succeed in finding the proof that Greenland is one island, but returning to the ship takes longer and is much harder than expected. Battling extreme hunger, fatigue and a polar bear attack, they finally arrive to find their ship crushed in the ice and the camp abandoned. |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The production filmed on location on glaciers mostly in Iceland, some in Greenland, and relied minimally on CGI. In casting actor Joe Cole as Mikkelsen's very green companion Iver Iversen, the filmmakers warned the actor that the conditions would be harsh and comforts minimal. See more » |
| Goofs | In the military briefing room while discussing search and rescue, the map in the background shows a modern-day outline of Greenland. Whereas the motivation for their exploration was to explore its unknown boundaries. See more » |
| Quotes |
Neergaard:
[at podium]
Remember the single most important task for an explorer. When you travel into unknown lands to discover new parts of the global, it is to ensure the records of your discoveries are delivered back safe and sound, with or without you. Otherwise it is all in vain. The blood, and sweat, and tears, would all be for nothing. See more » |
