PolarExplorers 1 2 Degree ski expedition is perfect for people who like the idea of participating in a North Pole expedition but don 't have the time or desire to embark in a full last degree expedition. The North Pole Half Degree ski expedition incorporates all the fun of the longer expeditions in a fraction of the time. Departing from Longyearbyen, Norway, you 'll board a charter flight to the Barneo ice station at approximately 89 degrees north. From here, we 'll fly by helicopter to our starting point closer to the Pole. We 'll spend five days skiing over the dynamic pack ice that surrounds the North Pole. You 'll have all the excitement and hard work of a longer expedition packed into 5 days of adventure!. |
