This is a 2006 American adventure drama directed by Frank Marshall. The 1958 ill-fated Japanese expedition to Antarctica inspired the 1983 hit film "Antarctica", of which this film is a remake. The film adapts the events of the 1958 incident, moved forward to 1993. In the 1958 event, fifteen Sakhalin Husky sled dogs were abandoned when the expedition team was unable to return to the base. When the team returned a year later, two dogs were still alive. Another seven were still chained up and dead, five were unaccounted for, and one died just outside Showa Station. Although the adaptation is quite different from the original, this drama turns out to be an engaging adventure for both the dogs and the humans.
