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.
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.

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 TH-cam would promote. This channel continues to publish some of the best content on the internet. Hands down.
Seriously what hapened to actualy good TH-camrs 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.
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

What’s wrong with this world is that people only care if you succeed and people don’t care about you if you fail(your just forgotten) such a sad world.
I'm forgotten 😂 tho nice to know who my friends and family are, not.
I succeeded tho u may not think so 😂
I think it was Edison that said something like "I've never failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work"
I feel like "failure" is so misunderstood these days. Failure is a VITAL component to progression. And you can't fail if you don't try. Problem is these days it's: "if you don't fail, you succeed," and it should be closer to "if you fail, you're trying!"
It's fun to think that the brightest minds failed more times than 95% of us "regular folks"
If that was the case then no one, I repeat NO ONE, would care about/study/follow the teachings of/honor the Nazis, the Confederacy, and plenty of other groups across history. The fact they failed merely becomes part of their lore, and it lives on for centuries because some people apparently like supporting both fascists, racists, AND white-flag-wavers.
People?! Bollocks to them - I've been much happier ever since I stopped thinking about my life in terms of success and failure, and being worried about what people might think. Just keep on truckin as they used to say - go your own way, do no harm and you won't go far wrong.

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.

@@awddwa6544 make your own ketchup, way better
Just sauce. Raw sauce.
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!
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!
dang that super cool
My grandfather was also on the Skate so of course they knew each other.
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.
mustard's videos are like wine.. the more you wait the better they gets..
found and explained is nowhere near this level, but he pumps out videos every week, which is what the audience needs
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
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.
Fail
You're a good story teller. I knew the ending and still felt tense in parts. Excellent video.
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
our artic trip is over🤣🤣🤣
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
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.
What an incredible find this channel is, that was fascinating and soooo very well put. Thank you for this. I'm hooked now🙌
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!
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.
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?
Dude, your channel is amazing, Great content and incredible videos and narrative. Congratulations
Bro u snapped!!!! This was such a dope vid!!!! Super informative!
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
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.
Spectacular. I haven't read about this till now. Thank you ❤
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 hull *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.
MUSTARD POSTED!
Yay
It only happens once every 90 years
Babe wake up! Mustard posted another video!!
ERMAH GERDDDDDD
hush down kid
The quality of this video is beyong words. Amazing illustration and narration. Great great work !!
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.
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.
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!

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 TH-cam 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.
