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.

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