They were considered the most inaccessible places on the planet, but not anymore. A British explorer made history by becoming the first person to set foot in these places.
Chris Brown, 63, is on a mission to visit all eight Poles of Inaccessibility, the exact spot on a continental land mass or ocean that is furthest from the sea or coastline in any direction.
He has already marked six of them in North America, South America, Africa, Australia, Antarctica and the oceanic pole at Point Nemo in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Now he has scored his seventh, having reached the North Pole, which is about 400 miles from the geographic North Pole. He is the first person in history to reach seven PIAs, and now he has only one left: the Eurasian Pole in northwestern China.
Chris, a tech entrepreneur from Harrogate, North Yorkshire, had failed in a previous attempt to reach the North Pole in 2019, due to evolving geopolitical factors and bad weather.
"This seems like a long time coming. When I set myself the goal of visiting all the unreachable poles, I thought maybe three or four would be reachable. But here we are! Never give up. Just never give up."
"No matter how difficult your dreams may seem, keep working and see what happens. The Arctic may be warmer than Antarctica, but the changing ice flows and currents make this PIA almost as difficult to achieve," said the father of two.
