Starting the Polar Night expedition from Cape Arktichesky

In 2006, Borge set out on one of his hardest expeditions, North Pole during winter time. 22nd of January Borge and expedition partner Mike Horn left Cape Arktichesky and started the battle against the cold and darkness on the dangerous drifting ice. After more than two months, fighting open water, polar bears, minus 40 conditions and an infection that nearly killed Mike, they reached the Geographical North Pole 23rd of March. This expedition had long been regarded as impossible due to the constant darkness and the extreme cold of the winter months. Beeing the first to do this during the months of winter, they have added a new chapter to the history of Polar exploration.
