Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film gives the impression that Amundsen's rival, the British explorer Robert Falcon Scott, used only ponies and motorized sleds, whereas in fact he started his attempt to reach the South Pole with more dogs than ponies on his unfortunate trip but he did not use dogs on the last leg of his trip contrary to all advice and counsel.
- Goofs'I can't sleep. I guess I'm still on Canada Time' says a character who has just arrived in Norway from Canada, alluding to jet lag. However, the film is set in 1923 and the only way to have made that journey would have been by sea and rail in around 12-14 days. More than enough time to have adjusted to any time differential.

Featured review
Just because the film is going places (a few of them actually), it doesn't mean its pace is a fast one. Quite the opposite is the case. Therefor making it I reckon almost unwatchable for some. Having said that, if you are curious about the will and curiosity of men, that won't stop you (no pun intended).
I don't know the real persons/individuals and how truthful this is to what happened (and their interactions/rivalries), I just know that it does work decently on the big or small screen and for the movie and its purposes. Very nice cinematography and the acting is more than just solid too. Not for everyone, but that I reckon is true for many other movies too, in a different way.
