I fear we have shot our bolt - but we have been to Pole and done the longest journey on record.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you work so hard to reach your goal but you lose your pole in the very last run, that's hard to take.
Within 10 years it will be impossible to travel to the North Pole by dog team. There will be too much open water.
I'm excited by going 85 mph, head-first, down an ice track.
Environmental scientists in Canada said it was impossible for me to get to the Pole in 2004... I said 'no,' it's still OK, and I can still get there, and I did.
But we have been to the Pole and we shall die like gentlemen. I regret only for the women we leave behind.

Long Toss! Far and away themost important drill for strengthening my arm.
