THE AFTER EXPEDITION PAGES


Tuesday 7 May : the first videos


See the first post-expedition videos: Alain Hubert and Dixie Dansercoer arriving at Brusselsnational airport filmed by Belgian TV stations, and interviews with the two men in the studios of the various TV evening news programmes. To go to our video page, click on the icon opposite.

For the most enthusiastic among our visitors, they will be pleased to know that antarctica.org will continue to monitor the other expeditions.

Three expeditions are still under way on the route from Ward Hunt -> the North Pole, the two British women (Pom Oliver, the third, having had to drop out after sustaining frost-bitten feet), the Scot Dave Mill in his solo attempt, and the two Swedes Tom and Tina Sjogren. Frenchman Jean-Louis Etienne, on the route from the North Pole -> Greenland, continues drifting on board his futuristic capsule "Polar Observer", together with his dog Lynet. Singapore's Khoo Swee Chiow accompanied by his guide Paul Landry arrived at the pole on Sunday 5 May at 6.50 p.m. having covered (picking up fresh supplies en route) 771 km in 45 days.
