When Lord and Lady Glenarvan discover a message in a bottle from the shipwrecked Captain Grant, they embark on a daring rescue mission with his children. With only partial coordinates indicating the 37th parallel south, the expedition must circumnavigate the globe through South America, Australia, and New Zealand.
