Challenge completed successfully - North Pole reached at 2:05 pm on Monday the 17th of April Wed, 19 Apr 2006 10:30:09 -0500 http://www.northpole2006.com/live.html?xjMsgID=11239 http://www.northpole2006.com/live.html?xjMsgID=11183 Spent 5 hours at the pole waiting for helicopter. When it arrived it had two gentlemen from Kazakhstan on board enjoying a champagne flight. They planted their national flag on an ice house that Alan Ingles had built, believing it to be the North Pole. We made instant friends and spent the evening back at Barneo camp site celebrating our success by drinking copious amounts of Russian vodka into the early hours of the morning.
