Welcome to the PolarExplorers 2011 North Pole Dogsled Expedition Blog!

Are you ready for an incredible armchair adventure? Following our 2011 North Pole Dogsled & Ski Expedition will be just that! We are delighted to have you follow the expedition's progress as they dogsled and ski the "final dash" to the North Pole.

All team members are in "final preparations" mode. This includes reviewing their personal kits (for the 100th time!), sorting out logistical details of their travels, and keeping up with the training. As you read this their guides are already in Longyearbyen, Norway sorting the group equipment, readying the dogsleds, and making final preparations.

The two degree expedition will officially begin on April 8 in Longyearbyen, Norway, and that's when we'll begin the daily updates. The one degree expedition will kick off on April 12 and we'll start their daily updates then. We invite you check back daily or sign up for the Follow by Email auto alerts. You can also send questions or messages to the team.

We look forward to sharing this amazing journey with you! Check back again soon!
