The film's maker, photographer and air force officer Odd Dahl, sailed aboard the ship Maud for two years from 1922 and filmed the crew on board as they travelled through the unexplored Arctic. Odd Dahl filmed the scientific work and many critical situations the crew faced on the ice.
By this time, the Maud expedition's former leader Roald Amundsen had left, and was engaged in his aerial expeditions to the North Pole.
The crew consisted of:[1]
- Oscar Wisting, Captain
- Harald Ulrik Sverdrup,[2] oceanographer
- Odd Dahl,[3] airman, photographer
- Finn Malmgren,[4] meteorologist
- Gennady Olonkin,[5] telegraphist
- Søren Syvertsen,[6] machinist (died 1923)
- Karl Hansen,[7] handyman
- Kakot,[8] handyman from Siberia
