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.
