description: In 1958 Nautilus is selected by President Eisenhower to reclaim the U.S. prestige that is lost when Russia launches 'Sputnik' into outer space. The mission is simple: Make the first submerged Trans-polar trip in history. Eisenhower will announce our success at the Brussels Worlds Fair, and in the process we get to steal home some publicity from the Russians.This is the story of two unsuccessful, and finally one successful attempt to solve the navigation nightmare of crossing the top of the world under water. It's easy to get to the North Pole-you just head north, But how do you get back?
