North Pole

Here's how it feels to reach the North Pole in 2004:

"I felt a huge mixture of emotions today - overwhelming joy and happiness, relief, sadness, frustration that I'm here too late in the season to reach the Canadian coastline. I thought of Dominick Arduin, who died this spring trying to reach the same point. And I thought how strange it is that there's nothing here. It's a bit of ice, just like any other."

Brit skiier Ben Sanders says he counted down with a GPS.

If only, Peary had a GPS!

Kudos to the Wet Ass Chronicles for covering such stories
