For centuries, the North Pole remained elusive. Early attempts to reach it were primarily motivated by the search for a navigable route through the Arctic to Asia, known as the Northwest Passage. Later, explorers focused specifically on reaching the Pole itself. But for centuries, reaching it seemed impossible. The polar environment was extremely unforgiving. Located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, the North Pole is covered by a vast expanse of sea ice which constantly changes due to wind, ocean currents and seasonal melts. Explorers tried to reach the pole using ships, dogsleds, and even traveling by foot. The first verified, and officially recognized expedition to reach the North Pole didn’t occur until 1926 (although several explorers claimed to have reached it earlier). It was first reached using the airship Norge, which flew overhead, but did not land on the surface.
In the late 1920’s, accomplished explorer Sir Hubert Wilkins became convinced that a submarine would provide the ultimate means of reaching the North Pole. A submarine could travel for extended periods beneath the ice, avoiding the extreme hazards above which had caused earlier expeditions to fail. Carrying the latest scientific equipment, the submarine’s crew could conduct valuable meteorological, oceanographic, biological, magnetic, and spectrographic experiments.
Wilkin’s submarine would be called the Nautilus. It was a retired WW1-era submarine that had been extensively modified by renowned Naval Architect Simon Lake. The Nautilus featured a heavily reinforced bow, a shock absorber and sledge runners to protect it from collision with sea ice. A diving compartment and airlock was also added to allow divers to explore the depths while the submarine remained submerged. Most importantly, the Nautilus was fitted with three ice drills, allowing the submarine to recharge batteries, refresh air and even allow the crew to exit while the submarine still remained below the ice.
The Nautilus and her crew of 20 men began their expedition to the North Pole in June of 1931.
None of them realized how grueling their journey would be, and almost immediately things began to go wrong.
Bro saw the current state of the history channel and said: *_”Fine, I’ll do it myself.”_*
It’s more of a reality show nowadays 😢
@@captaincurt396i think it's more like conspiracy theories

I am sorry but that thumbnail is f*cking incredible!
As always with Mustard
Let's hope he does not change it like in previous videos.
@@paleoph6168 they always do, its to get more views
That could be a movie poster in and of itself!
What are you sorry about?
6:50 "Mechanical issues be damned, it was time to get going." That isn't a phrase you want to hear on _any_ vehicle, much less a submarine planning to journey under an ice sheet. I wonder if they told the crew about that particular detail before they set off?
Yes that's a phrase often heard as a contributing factor in aircraft accidents. They even have their on term for it, "Get-there-itis"
@@kurtbilinski1723 Hahaha that's hilarious, and also terrible at the same time (when something goes wrong or should I say "right" mechanically speaking). Terrible stuff.
It's funny the guy who was worried stopped worrying.
Crew worked on the sub, they knew.
Right?
I have surfaced through the polar ice on three occasions with Royal Navy subs and those were fraught with danger so to see someone attempt the same nearly 100 years ago is breathtaking. The fact that this boat used diesels, which needed air to operate, was incredibly risky as coming across a polynia could be very hit and miss without upward looking sonar to aid discovery of an area of open water.
This was an expedition I had never heard of.
The coincidence of names is just bizarre
The cooling system of the nuclear power nautilus had a persistent leak that the crew could not locate. Before leaving Washington state for the voyage north crew members went into town and bought every can of StopLeak they could find.
End of problem
I'm pretty sure you did, mike. Amazing story, you're almost a Hurbard yourself.
I was so confused how a guy in a black and white photo would be related to the expedition, couldn’t imagine using a diesel sub.
I joined to serve on endurance after being rejected by the British antarctic survey. Heard submariners get rock star wages so changed over during the recruitment process. I then joined a boat that had an incident under the ice after the fact. Served all my time on that boat before being injured and put into recovery. Never did get a chance to visit the ice. Drafty had my name down for a boat which done an icex 2 months after I was discharged. Never been so annoyed in my life.
Submariners are some of the best people ever, they destroyed my pub in Gib( captains cabin) because I basically was partying with em, excellent lads👍
This is the type of content I wish RUclips would promote. This channel continues to publish some of the best content on the internet. Hands down.
Seriously what hapened to actualy good RUclipsrs and their content
Not being paid by Nebula to do so but if you're going for this type of content specifically, I suggest you subscribe to that service. It's the closest to the Discovery Channel of the early 90s in the modern era.
I've never heard of Mustard (the channel) before and youtube algorithm put me here.
@@Khronogil actually agree with you.
@@StrikeWarlockl actually agree with you.
Bros were among the last ones who couldn't say "I'm too late to explore Earth and too early to explore space"
Glad they survived

we're born just right to explore the internet, lol...
I'd rather choose death than financial ruin and life-long shame. Just because a designer would deliberately fuck me over.
@@azuredragonofnether5433 well it is what it is he did not realize that was going to happen till it was to late so just keep his lesson in mind if you plan to take a sub to the north pole or something crazy like that one it can happen to you to if your not careful
@@azuredragonofnether5433Keep in mind that's your choice. Don't bring a whole crew to a watery grave because of your own pride
“How does the rudder look?”
“Invisible, sir.”
This thing fills me with dread, I can't believe anyone got on board. Under the ice is no place to be, not even for one second. 12:14 Aw hell no!
06:24 it's amazing how in just 6-7 decades, pole-exploring submarine went from "cannot go out far from port without breaking down a lot" into "body-crashing thru sea ice by simply surfacing".
Ocean Gate left the chat
You mean bolting a hatch and motor to a composite tube doesn’t qualify as a purpose built submarine? I had no idea thank you for this novel insight!
They learned a LOT from willin's expedition. Also wilkins tried something arranged while the next gen submarines took that into account and were built for the purpose

These illustrations are wonderful! It's like looking at an actual book.
He should create a book with all the vehicles he has covered - the art is amazing. I would buy it!
Any idea who creates the illustrations and animations? I’m assuming he hires someone to do it.
The book pages are practical effects (other than fading in the submarine internal graphic). The yellow book is real - you can find scans of it on the Internet Archive. The papers are real. The maps are copies from books with the lines animated in. The illustrated schematics look very similar to those in books on the topic from the 1990s but I can't find a list of sources used for the video to find an exact match.
@@chrisn8349l actually agree with you and finally some one who l found in the comment section that actually has a functioning brain for once and this world actually genuinely needs more people actually like you in this world and you actually couldn't have said that actually any better than me.
@@user-gu8qi4me8xactually are you actually a person or are you actually AI?
My grandfather was on the Skate in the 50s when the two subs (2nd sub being the "new" Nautilus) went out to surface through the polar ice for the first time. He was one of four civilians on board and even got a spot in the arctic named after him. My grandmother never really knew what he was doing since it was so secretive during the cold War. Family didn't even find out till many years later once things started being declassified after 25 and then 50 years later.
my grandfather was on the nautilus! you guys were the first submarine to surface the ice cap!
Wilkin would, of course, go AWOL and take on the moniker "Captain Nemo", traveling the world twenty-thousand leagues under the sea.
Wait is it from that book of the 20000 something’s??
@secondlieutenan
You had the perfect setup.

mustard's videos are like wine.. the more you wait the better they gets..

Clickbait yeah
Just wait until someone gets desperate enough to offer a free trial on Nebula, sign up, watch everything they’ve been keeping exclusive and then cancel it. That’s how I binged all of Mustard’s stuff.
How is it clickbait @@yiman7370
Speaking facts
Absolutely tippy-of-the-tip-top-notch visuals and CGI. Looked cleaner and more professional than other documentarys of the type. Well done!
You're a good story teller. I knew the ending and still felt tense in parts. Excellent video.
Its really difficult to express just how much this was one of the worst plans of all time and how incredible it is they didnt all die.
It wasn't a bad plan. Technology just wasn't where it needed to be. That and Simon Lake was a bit crazy.
@@jfangmI'm sorry but going to the north pole in a scrappy old submarine that kept breaking down long before the actual expedition, and that *doesn't have heat or insulation*... is a bad plan, no matter the amount of slack you cut them.
@@jfangm so a bad plan.
@@efovex Not to mention their plan of ramming it underneath the ice. What if there was a pocket of thin ice that the sub floated into which would prevent it from returning without being able to properly dive?
Do you know how science works?
Idk if anyone else remembers those Incredible Cross-Sections books from the 90s, but Mustard always captures the feeling of flipping through those as a kid with these videos.
Stephen Biesty had the best cross sections books, ive bought several for my kids.
I was in my 40's by then, but Mustard brings the awesome graphics and CGI through Blender like a BOSS!
Popular Science, and they go way back to the 40’s-50’s
Right on; those DK books hit different.
I hve those books. They're amazing, I spent hours just staring at them cross sections.
I saw another documentary on this... regarding the diving plane being lost.
It said that Wilkins never believed or entertained any idea that the crew had sabotaged the diving plane... Only outside parties had speculated on this.
But here, it mentions that Wilkins suspects a crew member sabotaged the diving plane...
I wonder which source is more correct? 11:15
The crew and that captain were all madlads lol
What an incredible find this channel is, that was fascinating and soooo very well put. Thank you for this. I'm hooked now🙌
I could imagine a documentary of someone going out and raising the Nautilus, looking at the shock absorber on the front, the wacky ice drill, the guide arm thing on top, the diving area... couldn't you just see that thing sitting in a museum somewhere pointing out all this insane stuff... basically showing you that they were absolutely bonkers to try this with those dreamed up extras.
It was found a few years ago but is mostly buried in the seabed and badly decayed so raising it isnt an option unfortunately.
Aaah I wanna see it
A rusty pile of metal
@@meetoo594This may be for the better.
Let it rust away in peace.
The ice drill was a necessity, the trip was impossible without it. The sub had an air breathing engine and battery power. Without being able to run the engines on occasion they would be stranded.
They should make this into a docu-series or something to vividly feel that cold, crew like this have always fascinated me
Disney already made a tv series called Nautilus, based on the novel with Captain Nemo. They just sold it out AMC and it’s coming out soon
@@matsta177 that's a completely different story though.
What I wanna know is how the hell they thought they could get to the North Pole without any insulation. Were they just gonna raw-dog it and hope for the best?
Maybe they thought the heat of the engine room would be enough
@@1984isnotamanual I can't imagine that would have worked. Engines take up a lot of room on a world War sub but not all of it and usually crew quarters are as far away from the engines as possible so you wouldn't get tinnitus just existing on the sub.
Dude, your channel is amazing, Great content and incredible videos and narrative. Congratulations
The combo of how you tell it, the graphics, music, and other audio effects is just chef's kiss. Love your stuff and it's amazing quality!
I would argue the choice of content, and obviously the real history behind it, is just as important.
MUSTARD POSTED!
Yay
It only happens once every 90 years
Babe wake up! Mustard posted another video!!
ERMAH GERDDDDDD
hush down kid
Wow. An incredible channel consisting almost entirely of nothing but high quality videos diving into my special interest; the design and engineering behind unique forms of travel. You've even got a video on airships! I'm seriously so excited. I can't wait to burn through your youtube catalogue and then give Nebula a shot. Thanks for the quality content, you really made my day!
I can't believe this is free to watch, thank you so much!
I had a chance to visit the USS Nautilus (the nuclear powered one) last year. It's amazing to me how little space they had to work with, to the point that you'd have to turn sideways in the pasageway to pass each other and still brush belt buckles. Truly amazing feats of human engineering and tenacity.
Due to the tendency to re-use names, the unique hull number is handy - that's *SSN-571* for the nuclear submarine _USS Nautilus_ . The "Nautilus" used by Wilkins was USS O-12 (hull *SS-73* ) before it was taken out of military service.
About 10 years ago I got a chance to visit. It was an incredible experience.
they just spent tens of millions renovating the nautilus! i can’t wait to go see it again. haven’t seen it since it was in dry dock.
@@brianb-p6586it was the uss-168
@tysonsells6421 SF-9/SS-168 was yet another "Nautilus", a Narwhal-class submarine from 1930... not the nuclear submarine, and not the vessel that was used for the arctic expedition.
SS-73 was not called "Nautilus" while in military service; it was just "USS O-12".
"USS-168" isn't a hull designation.
I've been a submarine enthusiast since I was a kid and I never heard this story! I am shocked I never came across mention of it in the submarine books I read as a kid. Thank you for sharing this forgotten history with us!
Yeah same this is honestly jarring to me
I’ve never heard this either, and I’ve always been a fan of naval vehicles
@@everettstormy
Literally same.
Especially atctic exploration and history of discovery.
I assumed this was going to be a hypothetical scenario or proposal that would be cancelled for practical reasons.
To doscover this a real event is truly astounnding!
Same. At first I thought it was the Jules Verne story 😂
@@damenwhelan3236 yeah, i though 20k leagues under the sea
I briefly saw a photo at the end of your video of the XB-70 , my father actually worked on it when he was US Air Force attached to the Defense Atomic Support Agency and the Special Weapons Project.
Spectacular. I haven't read about this till now. Thank you ❤
I saw u since I was 12 years old.... I got accepted into SIT for mech engineering. I MUST SAY U WERE AN INSPIRATION TO ME!
I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I honestly can’t think of another RUclips channel I get this excited about. When I see a new video posted I genuinely get so excited.
Try whyfiles my man
Best ever food review channel is an amazing travel/food channel. I’d say it has higher quality than anything I’ve seen on tv.
I was coming to say this!!! @@joshball3393
I really enjoyed Mr Ballen's YT stories
If you like this type of video you'd like Lemmino
In the late 1950s, my father, a lieutenant JG in the USN, flew helicopters from an LSD off the east coast of Greenland. Even at the time, there was so little known about the region, they relied on whaler's charts from the 1800s.

This feels like one of those random cool documentaries you you used to find on The History Channel. Really cool video!
This is better than any documentary on the telly. So well done. Will have to consider Nebula if there's more like this there.
used to be lots of great docos on tv now there is jack shit.
Mustard, I am a Singaporean and have been following your channel and uploads since 2020 and I must say I truly enjoyed watching your videos while having dinner on any Friday night. An absolute jem of a channel! Cheers and keep it up! 🤙🏼
Thanks for sticking around :)
Curious why you need to qualify that
@RobertCraft-re5sf I am Canadian and I am also curious
@@Roddy556 you guys are weird because Friday nights are usually the best time to watch videos since it’s literally the weekend and you are probably not working nor schooling so you can finally rest after a long week of work or school, are you guys that dumb?
@@singaporeanguy17 Fellow Singaporean here, you are completely right!
It is honestly so amazing to see stories like this told in such a dumbfounding professional and exceptional way. This channel and its content honestly inspire me and drive me to be better. A True role model Channel.
The quality of this video is beyong words. Amazing illustration and narration. Great great work !!
Your videos remind me sooo much of old-school National Geographic documentaries like Explorer and "National Geographic Presents", keep up the amazing work!
Outstanding as always, much better than I expected. Could easily have been a 30 minute video but you managed to keep it at a reasonable length packed with great info, and made it incredibly interesting and entertaining. A lot of documentary channels on RUclips need to study and take lessons from your videos. Great job, thanks!
Since when is 30 minutes not a reasonable length? Its quite short from my perspective.
I do agree with most of your points though, this video is a masterpiece.
@@EliasDoe some of us don't have all day to sit around watching 30-60 minute videos. I just nope out on a lot of videos I'd actually want to watch because they're just too long. Plus a lot of channels push these ridiculously long videos that have 10 minutes of actual discussion on the topic and 20 minutes of repeating themselves, fluff, and inerjecting their own opinions and I'm not interested in that, and I don't have time for it. That's why this video is basically perfect.
@auntykriest fair enough, I suppose!
Excellent presentation. I am from a Navy submariner family. I was a young teenager living on base at Pearl Harbor sub base when Sea Dragon was prepared for rendezvous with Skate under the North Pole. Amazing feat. Early inertial navigation. My Dad was head repair officer for the sub base. I have a self addressed envelope that was post marked on board Seadragon at the North Pole at the rendezvous. That is very cool that Skate left ashes. Did not know. Thanks again for the high quality stuff. Carry on.
Ya just have to appreciate the amount of time spent in a chair slaving on after effects (or a similar program) to produce this content. Really great work. What a wildly advanced machine for that time period!
I love how much homework and editing you do with these videos.
Amazingly brave men. I can’t even imagine the terrifying experience. Great documentary; thank you for producing.
I’ve been watching your videos since childhood. Most consistent in quality of all the RUclips channels I watch
Babe wake up, Mustard just uploaded
I recently watched an actual TV documentary about this miraculous story. Very good job retelling this beautiful story in your own charming way 👏 😁
Oh man I completely forgot I had Nebula and I am subbed to you! Heck yeah so much amazing content to watch. I look forward to lunchtime at work everyday! Thank you for these wonderful vids!
@MustardChannel You guys are truly amazing at what you do. Not only do you make very interesting shows, but 1) you're getting better and better and the 3D graphics and editing and 2) You have such a great voice for voiceovers. I really wish you got an even bigger audience. There really is nobody better in the world at this kind of thing. Hey, why don't you make a truly special video of 30-40 minutes? It would be amazing. Something involving the cold war
Gotta say, this is probably one of your best videos. Great work man!
The amount of viewers in the first 30 minutes tells you what you need to know. Man makes GOOD content
Alright mustard. Whoever you are. You’ve made a fan and follower out of me. Thanks for this awesome content.
I am so glad I have the nebula subscription. Your documentaries are beyond incredible.

I would have loved to learn about this in school. Thanks for making this video so I could find it now. What a legend.
The ammount of suspense you built up in this video was masterful
You are a legend Mustard please don't stop putting out content you have many fans man!
Mustard uploads are fantastic with the animation , details , way of presenting the information. Although they pop once in a while, it is real pleasure to see them.
Just adding a little correction. I grew up in groton CT where the nautilis was constructed by Electric Boat. My Grandfather was one of the men that not only helped build it, but was sent out west with a group of workers to build a scale model of it. Bit of a secret project. The sub was built for the second world war not the first. Besides that i never knew about this mission. Ive even visited the sub that you can still go in today for free at the sub base in groton CT. It is insanely tight in there im dumbfounded that a crew spent more than an hour in there. God bless all of the brave men who sailed that vessel.
mustard vids are my absolute fav, had to cave and buy the nebula lol. happy to support!
Your videos are next level production quality with top tier content, they never fail to amaze me!

This was simply excellent. Great story telling with editing to match.
Mustard I know you get so many comments like this but I really love your channel! Each video I watch all the way through and love every second of it-thank you for your hard work!!
My older brother was a Submariner in the US NAVY. He brought home a shipmate for my family to meet that had sailed under the North Pole on the USS Nautilus. My brother sailed on the USS Patrick Henry during the Cold War. I was a Special Agent, Military Intelligence, The Pentagon, US ARMY 1968-1971.
Bro! Your documentaries are the best❤
This video was incredible and even had my anxiety going like I was in the sub
I absolutely adore this channel, you never cease to improve every time you upload
This was incredibly interesting and captivating the whole way through. Great work!
Connecticut local here, I've been on the USS Nautilus (I assume it's named after the original sub) which was the world's first operational nuclear powered submarine AND was the first sub to complete a fully submerged transit through the arctic in 1958.
With that said, Wilkin's expedition was not in vain, but it opened the doors for future expeditions to take place as well as help improve submarine technology :D
As soon as I saw it on Nebula I knew that the RUclips version would have some sort of teaser on an upcoming release! Super excited for next month!
i've been binging your content for the past few days... how lucky i am to see you upload!!!
I’ve actually been on the USS Nautilus (The nuclear sub that eventually DID successfully get to the North Pole).
You can visit it in Groton, CT where it has since been decommissioned and is now a museum just outside the Groton Naval Base. 😊
Great job and very excited for this RUclips channel
Now this is a RUclipsr to move your schedule or plans around for. Every single upload is a gem😎
Never stop making videos pls. Your content is amazing

The captain of the USS state has several books which I would recommend (it was the second ship to get to the North Pole) one is about his expedition
Fantastic work, keep it up!
Captain Nemo parked the Nautilus at the Mysterious Island, that’s what happened to it.

Best Mustard video thumbnail I've seen.
I had heard about the Nautilus in Jules Verne's stories (20000 Leagues Under The Sea, ect.)and of course I've known about The U.S.S. Naultilus Atomic Submarine, but this the first I've heard about this 1931 Nautilus. Thank You for bringing the ill fated expedition to our attention!🤩
Outstanding Presentation! I subscribed after seeing this.
The best historical tech channel on the Internet. Brilliant production and fascinating story. Every Mustard production is top notch and the reason why I subscribed to a lifetime subscription on Nebula.
