Early twentieth century. Roald Amundsen plans to travel to the
northernmost point of the globe. But after experiencing
difficulties with ships and airplanes in polar regions, he needs a
new method of travel. For many years, people had flown in airships.
Could an airship take him to the North Pole? Would it work in such
brutal cold? Eventually, Roald became the first person ever to
reach both poles, but it took the work of many people-and some
animals!-to make his journey possible . . .
