The story of an obsession - and a great mystery in the eternal ice. For over fifteen years, the Andrée expedition has captivated me: three men from Stockholm who disappeared on their way to the North Pole in a hot air balloon. The remnants of their camp were found 33 years later, frozen on an uninhabited island in the Arctic Ocean. I tried to have a serious talk with myself, but I was like a vampire who had caught the scent of human blood for the first time. This became my expedition.
