Summary:
"In June 1905, we're told, the sailing ship Hollandia set sail from Norway for a secret destination: the South Pole, a white and inhospitable void at the end of the world. In 1941, an interviewer tracked down and filmed the expedition's sole survivor, a ship's carpenter, in a tiny Irish cottage. The old man recounted the fate of his companions: an outlandish tale of obsession, murder, cannibalism and mystical redemption"--Container.
