Synopsis: Murder mystery set near the South Pole in 1909, the same year as Sir Ernest Shackleton’s first expedition. A crew of explorer-scientists and sailors, with the attitudes and prejudices of their day, perform perilous tasks under hazardous conditions. Captain Eugene Stewart (sharing initials with Ernest Shackleton) must also investigate his own crew as he attempts to unmask the murderer of Victor Henneker, the expedition’s representative of the press, who intends to record the voyage for posterity.
