We've had one good story on an arctic expedition from National Geographic today, and not to be out done, sister publication Adventure has published one of their own, an interview with Alain Hubert and Dixie Dansercoer, who hope to complete the longest crossing ever of the Arctic Basin.
The two Belgians will set off from Siberia through the Arctic Ocean, and over the course of 110 days, and some 2500 miles, hope to end their journey at the Southern tip of Greenland. They'll ski, kite, and hike their way into the record books, should everything go according to plan. Back in 1998, the pair completed a similar crossing of the Antarctic, covering 2438 miles in the process.
So it looks like we have another arctic expedition to follow. Hopefully we can get regular updates on this one as well. The interview is a great read, and these two seem like very interesting people. They've certainly had their fair share of adventures.
