A depiction of the Andrée Arctic balloon expedition of 1897. Accompanied by stills and other photographic material, the story – from preparations to the fateful end – is told in the expedition members’ own words taken from letters and diaries. The film contains newly shot sequences from Spitsbergen, Danes Island and Kvitøya ('White Island'), as well as excerpts from the feature film The Flight of the Eagle (1982). Nils Strindberg's photos, taken with his specially made camera (48 exposures to a roll, format 13x18 cm) had never before been shown unedited.
