Another North Pole Expedition

Hot on the heels of the Winter expedition of Mike Horn and Borge Ousland comes this story about two more polar explorers that will set off soon. Lonnie Dupre and Eric Larsen will set off in May to cross the Arctic Ocean, by way of the North Pole. Traveling during the Summer will mean that the pair will have to deal with changing weather conditions, sometimes hot, sometimes cold, but more importantly, they will have to face shifting ice flows and thin ice. They plan to go through unsupported, and attempt to raise awareness of global warming in the process. I'll keep an eye on this one once it gets underway.
