In 1931, a lone survivor of the Hollandia, which set sail for Antarctica more than two decades prior, turns up in Ireland. He has film of the disastrous expedition, which reveals striking imagery of polar bears and frozen wastes. But even more compelling is the man's story of supernatural forces that he claims besieged the ship. This film, a unique fact/fiction hybrid, utilizes footage of Antarctica shot during the first half of the 1900s, when the continent was still strange and new.
