Mike and Borge at the 89th Parallel

ThePoles.com has posted another one of their Polar Updates and are reporting that Mike Horn and Borge Ousland have reached the 89th degree of latitude, the last one before proceeding on to the North Pole.

The two have faced tough conditions since they set out to reach the North Pole on foot, in Winter, and the expedition isn't over yet, with 97 km yet to go. The two are exhausted beyond belief and have faced incredible winds and equipment breakdowns in their bid for the Pole.
