Ski expedition to the Magnetic North Pole
One of the most remote and complex expeditions that can be done on Earth
A ski crossing departing from the coast of the archipelago of Canada to one of the most remote and inaccessible areas of the planet: the Magnetic North Pole. Located in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, the place is where all compasses point. Currently is located north of the Sverdrup Islands in the area most uninhabited of the whole Canadian Arctic.

The Magnetic North Pole, the point that all compasses point, was discovered by John Ross in 1831 in King William Island. Unlike its namesake geographic, the Magnetic Pole moves about 15 kilometers annually. Currently located at latitude 82º North in a very chaotic area of the Arctic Ocean.

A plane will take off from Resolute Bay at 75 degrees north latitude and it will drop off the team in the ice pack around 100 kilometers of the Magnetic North Pole. After 11 days of skiing, in the midst of a large expedition atmosphere, surrounded by a white desert in total isolation, we will arrive at our destination. At that time we will be more than 1,000 kilometers from the nearest inhabited place.
