- This one's a kind of a map.
- Map?

:06:06
Well, if I had the right chart,
I could show you how this thing works.

:06:08
My yacht is at the pier.
You can have all the charts you need.

:06:17
See, this pattern
hopefully will correspond
to some part of the shoreline...

:06:20
here on the chart.
:06:24
Look. See how this matches?
:06:27
Now, it's not exactly to scale,
of course.

:06:30
Then this red mark could be
the island we're looking for.

:06:33
If there were such an island.
:06:35
- And why shouldn't there be?
- 'Cause there's no land here.

:06:37
It's just a gigantic frozen sea.
All the explorers agree to that.

:06:41
- Peary, Nansen, all of them.
- And what is Ivarsson's opinion?

:06:49
Of course,
there's a lot they haven't covered.

:06:53
But if there were such an island...
:06:55
if the graveyard of whales
really did exist...

:06:58
The world will never know,
will it?

:07:01
Unless you discover it.
:07:03
Or unless someone else
beats you to it.

:07:08
Sir Anthony,
you're a devious man.

:07:12
Yes, I am, aren't I?
:07:15
I've got your contract here...
:07:17
your leave from the university,
power of attorney.

:07:20
My solicitors will handle your affairs
in your absence.

:07:24
- We're underway.
- And have been for some time.

:07:27
We'll be in France in the morning.
:07:29
Why France? That's hardly
the most direct route to Fort Conger.

:07:33
On the contrary.
I think you'll find that it is.

:07:43
Can't you slow him down? You'd think
we were leaving tomorrow morning.

:07:47
- We are.
- What?

:07:50
I said we are.
:07:52
- First thing in the morning.
- Impossible!

:07:56
It's winter. No ship can get
through the ice before spring.
