North Pole Challenge

 

April 10, 2003 - On the Arctic ice right now are Geoff Somers, David Burckett St. Laurent and Adam Levy who are heading to the North Pole. The team's current position is latitude 88 59 55 and longtitude 113 57 and they will start from there and try to reach the North Pole. After spending some time getting prepared for the task they are now ready to get going. They were up to 1 PM last night looking after the technology kit when they should be getting some much needed sleep.

Master the environment

If everything is on schedule they should be on their way now. According to their latest update the key to Polar life is to master the environment and your relation to it as far as possible. Perhaps the most important thing when you are out there is to keep the equipment as well as yourself as dry, clean and warm as possible. That may seem like a given but not as easy to actually do. The team will write updates of their progress along the way.
