The Transantarctic expedition led by the American Will Steger and the Frenchman Dr. Jean-Louis Étienne took place between July 1989 and March 1990. It was the first successful attempt to cross the entire extent of Antarctica without the use of motor power. Six men of various nationalities, including Viktor Boyarksy (Soviet Union), Geoff Somers (Great Britain), Qin Dahe (China) and Keizo Funatsu (Japan), crossed Antarctica from east to west for seven months on dog sleds pulled by 63 sled dogs, covering a total distance of 6,048 kilometers, with temperatures as low as minus 45 degrees Celsius and long-lasting storms. Their aim was to draw global attention to the continent's endangered future and the early signs of climate change. The documentary relives this great human adventure, which took more than three years from the first meeting of the participants to the final success.

Witnesses and sentinels of the upheavals occurring on a global scale, the poles have become major natural laboratories for researchers studying climate change. But these icy extremities have always been as fascinating as they are inhospitable. The conquest of the Arctic and Antarctic was long and perilous. Many advances were made only thanks to the tenacity of the first adventurers. This journey to the ends of the earth offers a scientific investigation in the footsteps of the conquerors of these icy poles, with insights from Sophie Berger, glaciologist, Jean-Louis Etienne, adventurer, and Jérôme Chappellaz, director of the French Polar Institute Paul-Emile Victor.

The mountains are a barometer of the state of the world because global warming is three times more visible there than elsewhere.

It is in this fragile setting of beauty that a young committed rope party sets out to cross the heart of the Alps on ski touring, to decipher for themselves the visible and invisible signs that threaten them, and to question a situation that goes beyond mountaineering
