5. Expedition to the North Pole
A science expedition webisodic series
Bernice Notenboom’s expedition to the North Pole covers one of the last ski
expeditions across the frozen Arctic Ocean. In the spring of 2013 when the sun returns
to the Arctic skies, a team of three veteran polar explorers will head out to the North
Pole and attempt to ski across to Hunt Island in Canada, on a grueling 800 km self-
supported expedition lasting about 40 days.
Along the way they will meet Canadian Inuit hunters who travel long distances to the
remaining multi-year sea ice that has drifted and banked against the coast of Canada
and Greenland. This area is now the only refuge for seal, walrus and polar bear. The
Expedition will reveal the passion of three polar explorers for the North Pole and why
they return year after year but now struggle on their own final journey as the ice is
disappearing at an unprecedented rate. Record cold winters in Europe, jet stream
instability, droughts in Colorado and Utah are just some of the effects of losing the air
conditioning region of our earth.
