In 1897 three men disappeared in the North Pole—only now have
their final hours been revealed with this award-winning forensic
investigation of a 120-year-old mystery
On July 11th, 1897, three men set out in a hydrogen balloon bound
for the North Pole. Led by engineer August Soloman Andrée, they
want to make history, but are frighteningly underprepared. Three
days into their journey they make a crash landing and disappear
into a white nightmare. They never return. 33 years later, the
men's bodies and equipment are found buried beneath the snow and
ice on a deserted glacier. They had enough food, clothing, and
ammunition to survive. Why did they die? 100 years later, Bea
Uusma is at a party. She pulls a book off a shelf about the
Andrée Expedition. For the next 15 years, Bea will think of
nothing else. This is her journey to uncover the truth.
