Tim and the Arctic Pole
Donation protected
I have been chosen to take part in one of the most ambitious polar expeditions of our time; to be the first expedition in history to reach the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility.
Defined as the point at the very centre of the Arctic Ocean, the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility is the last truly significant place in the Polar Regions yet to be reached by mankind. It is over two hundred miles further than the Geographic North Pole.
The whole journey will be near to 800 miles from the northern shores of Canada and will take-in the North Magnetic Pole on route.
Along the route our team will be gathering new and “crucial datasets” for the scientific community about how the sea ice breaks up, making the whole endeavour a major citizen science project. Partners include the NASA funded National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) scientists, The Met Office, The Scott Polar Institute, The Norwegian Polar Institute and the Russian Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute.
This vital data will deliver the reality of climate change and make the whole expedition worthwhile and purposeful.
Jim McNeill will lead the expedition and is one of the world’s most experienced and respected explorers and founder of the Ice Warrior Project.
