Synopsis

Roald Amundsen led a polar expedition to 88º North in 1925. This achievement marked the northernmost latitude reached by a person at the time. The documentary questions how to visually represent such a remote and undefined space. It analyzes the concept of conquering geographical abstractions. The film runs for 10 minutes and falls within the society genre.
