I thought I knew who got to the North Pole first. It turns out that it's a lot more complicated than you might think. [Pull down the description!] Frederick Cook; Robert Peary; Roald Amundsen. They all have claims, and they can all be disputed for one reason or another...

Over at Matt and Tom's Park Bench, I'm talking about my behind-the-scenes stories and showing photos from the trip:    • Tales From The Arctic 1: The Arrival,...  

I'm here because of Chris Hadfield's Generator Arctic - go check out everyone else who was on the trip, and have a look at tickets for their show at Massey Hall, Toronto, on November 12th! http://generatorevent.com

Thanks to all the team at Quark Expeditions - http://www.quarkexpeditions.com - who made it possible for us to get there, and whose crew and staff on board were just amazing! In particular, thanks to Robert Headland, world-leading polar expert, who fact-checked my script.

The fellow traveller at the end is Ben Brown -    / benbrown100   - who's been putting out daily vlogs of his experiences!
