The Secret Land was filmed entirely by USN and US Army military photographers, and was narrated by actors Robert Taylor, Robert Montgomery, and Van Heflin. It was produced by Orville O. Dull.
An early scene features Chief of Naval Operations Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz discussing Operation Highjump with admirals Richard E. Byrd and Richard H. Cruzen prior to their departure. Also depicted are the rescue of a crew of a crashed aircraft and the discovery of an Antarctic "oasis" of bare ground and ice-free fresh water lakes atop a thermal bulge deep inland.
The film has re-enacted scenes of critical events, such as shipboard damage control and Admiral Byrd throwing items out of an airplane to lighten it to avoid crashing when one engine of the aircraft he was in failed and the other began to falter under the excess load.
