This adventure blends exploration with science fiction as American velocipedist Wilkye and British armorer Linderman compete to reach the South Pole first.

Their rival expeditions face treacherous Antarctic conditions, dwindling supplies, and the brutal onset of winter in a desperate race for glory. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
