Ben Saunders is a record-breaking long-distance skier, with four North Pole expeditions under his belt. He is the youngest to ski solo to the North Pole and holds the record for the longest solo Arctic journey by a Briton. Since 2001, Ben has skied more than 2,500km (1,500 miles) in the high Arctic, which he recently worked out equates to two percent of his entire life living in a tent. Ben is currently preparing for two groundbreaking polar expeditions in 2009: the first, starting late March, is an expedition to the geographic North Pole with the aim of setting a speed record. Unlike the current record holders (who used professional guides, dogsleds and multiple air drops of food), Ben aims to achieve this alone, unsupported and on foot.
