The story opens on Arctic ice at the end of a three-month night, with a figure that might be a man or a young polar bear. A voyage under Captain Mayne Brace follows, with ship’s bears named Gruff, Growley, Grumpey and Meg, heavy weather and a long passage south beneath the Southern Cross into Antarctic waters.
