Med Maud over Polhavet is a Norwegian documentary film from 1926, directed by Odd Dahl.
The film's maker, photographer and air force officer Odd Dahl, sailed aboard the ship Maud for two years from 1922 and filmed the crew on board as they travelled through the unexplored Arctic. Odd Dahl filmed the scientific work and many critical situations the crew faced on the ice.
By this time, the Maud expedition's former leader Roald Amundsen had left, and was engaged in his aerial expeditions to the North Pole.
