Things are heating up – the end of the world is nigh! Just when it looks like all hope is lost, an asteroid hurtling in the direction of earth flies by without the major collision everyone had feared. However, part of the asteroid plummets into the Arctic Ocean.

An international scientific expedition is set up to search for this meteorite. Tintin and Snowy set off aboard the Aurora, with Captain Haddock at the helm. But soon they find out that another ship is sailing toward the strange meteorite and their expedition turns then into a true race. Who will be the first to reach the meteorite and what is the rival crew's purpose?
