The North Pole is the 'Everest' of polar expeditions. The North Pole is more of a GPS location when you are on the ice cap because it is not a constant, as is the South Pole which is anchored by a land mass. Rather, the actual North Pole can move by up to 16km each day!

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.

    Polar travel in the steps of the early explorers
    Incredible vistas to the end of the world!

  • Reviewer: Stephen located in Canada
    When I decided four years ago to complete the Seven Summits, I wanted to try a different guide company for all of my climbs until I found one that I was comfortable with, had the experience on all the summits and met all my expectations.  After using three other companies, I am now in the process of planning my third climb with Adventure Consultants.
  • Reviewer: Dave located in USA
    Good guides understand that part of the payoff is the opportunity to help create on of life's most powerful experiences for someone they've just met.  I salute the guides of Adventure Consultants, who do just that every time they lead an expedition.
  • Reviewer: Dominic located in UK
    May I take this opportunity to thank Adventure Consultants for putting me on top of the world on May 13, 2011, it was a lifelong ambition to climb Everest, and I only believe it starts to sink in 6 months later!

Itinerary

Day 1: Meet in Resolute Bay, Canada. Transfer from airport to hotel. Evening orientation
and welcome reception. Start checking gear and reviewing expedition logistics after dinner

Day 2-5: Team training and shakedown outside of Resolute Bay.

Day 6: Charter flight to Eureka weather station, then on to Ward Hunt Island.

Day 7: Depart Ward Hunt Island onto the pack ice. Begin skiing towards North Pole.

Day 8-57: Ski across the dynamic pack ice of the Arctic Ocean towards the North Pole. Each
day will present its own challenges such as endless pressure ridges, open water leads, and
possible negative drift. As you approach the last few degrees your sleds will be lighter and
your efforts encouraged by your progress.

Day 58: Upon reaching the North Pole you'll have time to celebrate this monumental
achievement before being picked up by helicopter and flown to the Borneo Ice Station. Time
permitting we'll spend the night at the North Pole, or possibly the Borneo Ice Station.

Day 59: From the pack ice we'll fly via charter air to Longyearbyen, Norway. Back in
civilization, you'll have a chance to shower, eat delicious meals prepared by some of the
finest chefs in the high Arctic, and enjoy this wonderful town that is rich in Arctic history, yet
has all the comforts of home. The team will take this day to wrap-up loose ends and ease
their way back into regular life.

Day 60: Breakfast at Longyearbyen lodge. Transport to airport. Depart for flights home.
