The 1902 footage, capturing chaotic scenes from the Ziegler polar expedition, was filmed by a budding photographer named Anthony Fiola. The expedition’s leadership had more passion than experience, and the team never reached the North Pole. Fiala eventually led a second attempt but that failed as well. Although he wasn’t the first to reach the North Pole, Fiala has the honor of being National Geographic’s first "explorer-cinematographer."
