Discover the incredible and brave story of Leonid Rogozov, the Soviet surgeon who operated on himself in the remote and icy Antarctica! In 1961, during an expedition at the Novolazarevskaya base, Rogozov began to feel the terrible pains of appendicitis. With the nearest hospital thousands of kilometers away and no possibility of evacuation, he made a decision that would turn him into a legend.

With a mix of determination and bravery, Rogozov prepared to perform a self-surgery under extreme conditions. With only a mirror and the help of his expedition companions, who held an improvised lamp, Rogozov began the operation that lasted one hour and 45 minutes. During the surgery, he faced moments of weakness and cold sweat, but his skill and courage allowed him to complete the task successfully.
