Nova Zembla is a 2011 Dutch-language history movie directed by Reinout Oerlemans, with a running time of 1h 48m. It stars Robert de Hoog, Jan Decleir and Derek de Lint.
Gerrit de Veer, a novice writer on a 16th-century Dutch merchant vessel, chronicles the daring mission to discover a trade route across the North Pole to Asia. But the heroic journey turns into tragedy when the ship gets stuck in the relentless, penetrating ice. The men are forced to spend the winter on the frozen, arctic wasteland of Nova Zembla, fighting polar bears, hunger and lethal temperatures. Their chances of making it until the following spring are virtually zero.
