Georges Melies (the stage-magician-turned-pioneer-film-maker who gave us "A Trip to the Moon" in 1902) wrote, produced, directed, and starred in this early sci-fi adventure about an international group of scientists who explore the North Pole in a newly invented aero-bus.

After crashing in the Arctic, the explorers encounter the Giant of the North (a full-sized, mock-up monster, manipulated by stage technicians). At the end of the thirty-three minute silent film the explorers return home in a dirigible.
