Dick and Dorothea Callum, colloquially known as "the D's", have come to stay at Dixon's Farm, on the lake shore above Wild Cat Island, for a week at the end of the winter holidays. Whilst there they see, and soon make contact with, the Swallows (John, Susan, Titty and Roger Walker) and the Amazons (Nancy and Peggy Blackett), who are themselves staying at their usual "native settlements" at Holly Howe and Beckfoot. The Swallows and Amazons explain that they have planned a winter expedition to the North Pole. Having built an Igloo in the woods above Holly Howe, they are waiting, with increasing desperation, for the "Arctic" to freeze before they have to go back to school. Impressed by Dick and Dorothea's skating ability, they invite the D's to join their expedition.
Matters take an unexpected turn when Nancy falls ill with mumps. Owing to health regulations at their respective schools, Peggy, the Swallows and the D's have to remain in quarantine for a month, with Peggy moving from Beckfoot to Holly Howe. Despite her suffering, Nancy is exultant as she realises that there will now be plenty of time for the lake to freeze and the North Pole Expedition to take place in style.
Inspired by Nancy's ideas, the rest of the expedition throw themselves into skating practice, experiments with sailing sledges and a move from the Igloo to Captain Flint's houseboat, which is now frozen into the lake and which they rename the Fram. Their routine is briefly upset when Captain Flint returns without warning, but he soon enters into the spirit of the expedition, plotting the final assault on the pole with Nancy. With well-laid plans, Ransome says, their march to the Pole promised to be "the most orderly bit of Arctic exploration in history". But it turns into something far more dramatic when the D's are confused by a signal from Beckfoot and disappear up the lake in a blizzard, forcing the Swallows and Amazons to follow on a relief expedition towards the North Pole in the Arctic night...
