This journey has been so tough that I think it will be a very long time until someone tries to repeat our expedition," says the Norwegian Børge Ousland - Borge Ousland, according the blog on his website. Even so, he is in excellent form, and his friend and expedition partner Mike Horn is in much better than a couple of days ago. These two men are the first to reach the North Pole on skis in the dark of winter. This is a real venture....

Børge Ousland and Mike Horn leaved Cape Artichesky, which is the most northern point in Russia, on 15 January this year (2006).

Børge Ousland`s slogan is: Follow your dream, never stop! Now he has together with his friend Mike Horn achieved a new goal in his life which is unattainable for most people.

Børge Ousland was born 31st of May 1962 in Oslo Norway. With solo expeditions to both the South and North Poles, and solo crossings of both the Antarctic and the Arctic from coasts to coasts, Børge Ousland has established himself as one of the greatest adventurers and explorers of our time.
