Expeditions Reach The North Pole

April 27, 2009

ExplorersWeb is reporting that a few expeditions have reached their target destination of The North Pole today. The expeditions were pushed to their human limts over the past three days, with many of the guys saying that they had very litle sleep over the 72 hour final push.

John Huston and Tyler Fish (USA) reached the North Pole unaided and unassisted on the 55th day of their expedition. They reported having to cross some open water enroute to the Pole, but that it wasn’t unexpected. Tyler and John have become the first Americans to ski unassisted to the North Pole. John Huston has previously reached The South Pole in Jan. 2008. Congrats guys!

Lonnie Dupre (USA), Max Chaya (Lebanon), and Stuart Smith (USA) reached the Pole on April 25th at 9:22 AM central time. Chaya and Stuart Smith have now each reached all three Poles: North, South, and the highest, Mt. Everest. Max Chaya also became the first Lebanese to ski to the North Pole.

Congrats goes out to everyone for reaching their destination all in one piece. There are still a few people out there striving for the North Pole in the coming days. I will bring you that news when I get it.
