The North Pole
A land of 24 hour daylight, where the sun never dips below the horizon. A land of cracking and groaning ice, where pressure ridges and open leads appear in crazy, random patterns. Whiteouts. Sub-zero temperatures. Howling winds. A land where drifting ice can push you back several miles while you sleep. The early Arctic explorers endured extreme hardships for weeks and months to attain their goal of reaching the North Pole. Today, the Pole can be reached in a very short time and in relative comfort with the use of aircraft.
