The Belgica’s crew was in the face of great danger, and its captain, Adrien de Gerlache, was forced to rely on his two officers: the expedition’s lone American, Dr. Frederick Cook, and Roald Amundsen, the ship’s first mate. Together, they would work to devise a desperate, almost certain-to-fail escape from the ice—an attempt that would either leave their names in history or condemn them to a dreadful end at the bottom of the ocean.
