Summary:
Antarctica was described by Admiral George Dufek, the first Commander of Operation Deep Freeze in 1955-59, as the most dangerous flying outside of combat. The film is an account, which proves the truth of that statement. The story of American aviation's triumphs and tragedies in the harshest environment on earth is compelling. It begins with the background of Admiral Richard E. Byrd and his first three expeditions in Antarctica from 1928- 41.
