Synopsis
Matthieu Tordeur, a member of the French Explorers Society, embarks on the most ambitious expedition of his life at just 26 years old: a solo unsupported journey to the South Pole. Over 1,150 kilometers of harsh Antarctic terrain, he hauls a sled carrying everything he needs to survive in one of the most extreme environments on Earth. Battling brutal weather, physical exhaustion, and the profound isolation of the ice, Matthieu confronts doubt and pushes his limits. This immersive adventure takes viewers inside the 51 intense and moving days of his extraordinary expedition. Matthieu Tordeur became the first French explorer—and the youngest in history—to achieve such a remarkable feat.
