THE CONQUEST OF THE POLE

The increase of polar expeditions causes a meeting among scientists. They must choose
the best way to reach the North Pole. An airbus is designed by the engineer Maboul. Six
scientists from different nations accompany him on this formidable journey. Other
voyagers, using different ways of locomotion, sadly fail. The airbus reaches the North
Pole but crashes upon landing. A snow giant frightens the explorers. After they find
themselves stuck to a magnetic needle, pole axis. Finally, they are saved by a blimp and
triumphantly regain their esteem at the institute.
