November, 1955: Sir Edmund Hillary addresses 2000 Wellington school children, during an extended mission to win support for an Antarctic expedition. Hillary shakes hands with pint-sized fundraisers, and one of his crew models Kiwi-made cold weather gear. The voiceover mentions a "New Zealand Antarctic expedition", but Hillary's team would actually form half of a Commonwealth team, led by UK explorer Vivan Fuchs. After leaving supplies for the British crossing party (see film Antarctic Adventure), Hillary controversially set off for the South Pole.
