Planning a trip to the North Pole? Bring your kayak.
If you were planning on taking a summer trip to the North Pole to see the ice, you better get to it, because such trips may be impossible in just ten years, according to Boerge Ousland, one of the world's top polar adventurers. His advice to anyone planning a trip to the North Pole in a few years? Bring your kayak.
Ousland has seen the melting ice himself, citing many wide gaps in the ice and thinner ice around the North Pole itself.
According to satellite data, the Arctic ice shrank to a new low in September 2007. Visit our stunning gallery on Greenland, to see the effects of the melting ice there.
