WHY THE POLES
What prompted legendary explorers as Amundsen, Peary, Scott, Nansen, Shackleton and other illustrious men to walk on the coldest places on Earth at a time when an expedition to those remote places meant to be disconnected from the rest of the planet for years, being far away from other humans and finding innumerable hardships or even death in a desolate place?
 

THE CHARM OF THE ICE
Apparently there is not a logical answer to the above question, but the magic of the poles, attracted those tough men with such force they could not resist their call. In their logbooks these early explorers spoke of the "spell" that felt when they faced to vast territories filled with ice, where there is an eternal white line on the horizon and on clear days you can see the curvature of the Earth.

All of them spoke about the incredible view of the Northern Lights sparkling in the polar night, or hundreds of huge icebergs tallest than a 40 storey building floating on the calms waters at the bottom of a steeply fjord. Or glacier fronts on cobalt blue colour that intermittently dot the polar coastline.

But they also amazed by the native wildlife they met in their path, as the lone Polar Bear, the world's largest land carnivore, a wonder of life adaptation and whose domains are the Arctic Ocean where it wanders with great agility. Or the Emperor Penguin that despite its funny walk, is the only animal species that stay in the Antarctic harsh winter. Not to mention meeting the pleasant Eskimo people, or Inuit as they call themselves, who have inhabited these cold territories from thousands years ago.
 

TRAVEL TO THE POLAR REGIONS
What Arctic World travel agency proposes is you discover the polar regions in total safety, but without risking your life or spending years away from your family, neither suffering the hardships that old explorers felt in the last four centuries.

We propose you watch the magical Northern Lights, which scientists say are the most impressive luminous phenomenon of nature. We propose you reach the very Geographic North Pole where all directions are south, or walk on the Antarctica glacier plateau, the largest ice mass on the planet. Or maybe you want to reach the northernmost village in the world by dogsled accompanied by the last Inuit who still live in a traditional way. Or why not to sleep in an igloo built by an elderly Inuit man who was born in one of those snow houses?

And if you like adventure you could ski on the ice of the Arctic Ocean, the most rugged and changing place of our planet. Or you can experience the magic of being the first human to set foot on any of the many sites that man has not yet stepped on. And if you are a motor lover, why not to drive a snowmobile on the frozen sea to be at the bottom of the tallest sea cliffs on Earth?
 

IN GOOD HANDS WITH A VERY EXPERIENCED POLAR EXPLORER
And all those activities and adventures can be done in complete safety and comfort by hands of Jose Naranjo, a polar explorer with tens of polar expeditions under his belt who broke several world records.

In his long polar career stands out the Transgreenland 2001 expedition that crossed Greenland from South to North in complete autonomy with a sled pulled by giant kites, becoming the fastest polar traverse in history.

It is also important to emphasize the Transbaltic 2003 leaded by him. This was the first ever expedition which crossed the Baltic Sea on skis from Finland to Sweden, through the icebreakers route.
He is also the creator and coordinator of the first hotel in history set on a frozen sea. Project carried out during the Nanoq 2006 expedition conducted in the key point of the mythical North West Passage in Canadian Arctic.

In 2011 he covered 800 kilometres from the Geographic North Pole to Canada after having skied for 40 consecutive days on the frozen sea ice of the Arctic Ocean. He is one of the few people in the world who has made what is considered one of the toughest and most dangerous expedition on the planet.

And in the year 2012 he crossed on skis the Barnes icecap located on Baffin Island, one of the last icecaps that no man had gone through before.
