The North Pole 2009
In this year's season at the North Pole, Børge Ousland was guiding three different groups. The three day trip was dropped of 10 km from the North Pole. Even with -33°C and a brisk breeze straight in their faces they quickly reached the goal. While they waited for transportation back to Barneo they became "guests" in a wedding for a couple who got married at the North Pole.
When the Last Degree trip started it was -30°C and the wind was blowing 10 m/sec. The wind led to ice drift up to 7-800 meters per hour, but fortunately in the right direction. The North Pole was reached after only four days, and was celebrated with a gourmet dinner from the Bocuse d`Or winner Terje Ness, a surprise Gunner had hidden in his pulk. Chinese Travel Channel was the last group to the pole with two participants from a Chinese reality show, and two camera men.
