A small plane is used to ferry the men of the first expedition back to the icebreaker. In the meantime, the exreme cold forces the cancellation of the second party, and dog handlers are in extreme state of agitation.

Fifteen dogs have been left behind, chained to posts embedded in ice. Eight of them manage to free themselves; the rest freeze to death. The eight surviving canines begin their fight for survival.

Due to its anticommunist policies, it receives US military aid, a country where individual freedom and human rights are so valued.
