North Pole Expedition 2011
In the summer of 2011, Jan-Gunnar Winther and John E. Guldahl of The Norwegian Polar Institute will paddle and walk from where Fridtjof Nansen had to give up during his 1893 Arctic expedition, to the North Pole. The purpose of the trip is research on the changing ice conditions at the pole.
The best equipment is essential for the success of the trip and the team have chosen Palm Aleutian Suits which they’ve already been putting through their paces. The photo below is from training near Tromsø this spring.
Best of luck to the team as they train for the expedition. We’ll keep you updated on their progress.
