Update on the Poles

There are several expeditions underway at both the North and South Pole at the moment, and there is no better site to follow the progress than thePoles.com. Amongst the highlights today are one story of an explorer who had to call for aid after falling in the frigid artic water yesterday, and an update on Borge Ousland and Mike Horn who are attempting to reach the North Pole on foot.

I blogged about Borge and Mike over a month ago, and since that time, they have faced extreme cold, howling winds, being stalked by polar bears, and equipment failure. I'm sure when they return, it will make for a great book! :)
