Borge Ousland crossed the North Pole from Russia to Canada. He walked, Heskied. He stvam. And
he did it alone. Here is an excerpt from his journal
The first week of the last big solo expedition of my life nearly defeated me. I had prepared
for two years. I was in top shape. I was motivated. I was battle tested. (I had trekked
alone to the North Pole and across the South Pole in the previous years), I was ready for
a triathlon from hell: a 1240-mile ski, walk, and swim from Russia to Canada, making mo
the first person to cross both Poles alone. But only days after pushing oft alone, the sledge
with all my supplies began to break; its runners came loose, and its Kevlar coating cracked
and was worn by the sharp edges of new pack ice.
I'd already survived one brutal night when the Arctic Ocean nearly swallowed my first
camp. The next morning I couldn't find snow to melt for fresh water. Finally I spotted
patches of frozen condensation on the leeward side of some ice blocks and scraped
together enough for a cooking pot. A close call.
But what about the sledge? I spent day three trying to repair it with improvised tools,
hand-drilling 262 holes and sewing damaged parts together. It didn't work. I was tom. Do​
