Surrounded by sea ice and in total darkness for half the year, the Pole is attainable only during a short ‘window’ of time. If too early, darkness and extremely cold temperatures prevail. If too late, the Arctic Ocean is transformed into a watery enshrouded pack of drifting sea ice. The expedition will travel and live on the polar pack ice, navigate over pressure ridges, search for routes around open leads of water and camp on multi-year pans of ice.
Challenges aside, an expedition to the top of the world is an amazing experience. It is difficult to describe the beauty of the soft arctic light, the variety of snow crystals and the ever-changing colours of the ice that are a feature of travel in the polar regions.
