The 2007 arctic exploration season is just about on us, and soon teams will be setting off on ski's for the North Pole and beyond. As with the Antarctic season, there are some interesting expeditions. ThePoles.com has posted their 2007 Arctic Expedition List to get you acquainted with the teams.
You'll find a three woman team setting off for Canada to reach the North Pole, the only team to actually go to the Pole this season. Another team will ski 700km from Canada to Greenland, roughly the same distance to the Pole. Norwegian Borge Ousland and Swiss Thomas Ulrich are back together again, this time to explore the Arctic region of Russia, and of course there is the Baffin Islands Expedition as well.
Look for more updates to the list, and ongoing coverage of all the expeditions as the North Polar exploration season opens. I'll post updates as they come in.
