On the 26th of February 2010, Australian Tom Smitheringale will set out from Ward Hunt Island at the northernmost edge of Canada with the aim of of being the first Australian to reach the geographic North Pole solo and unsupported.
A feat described by the world's greatest climber Reinhold Messner as '10 times more difficult than climbing Mt Everest' and one that has only been achieved by 2 people in the history of polar exploration. An epic battle by one man against blizzards, bears and broken ice, covering 800km in under 60 days on the ice.
