"It has never been attempted before," Pugh wrote about his kayak attempt before he left.

Never? In the summer of 1895, Fridtjof Nansen and his partner used kayaks for open water crossings to the Russian shore from the 86th degree. Cook built his sleds exactly so they would make it possible to kayak the last degree back to the Canadian shore. I guess it doesn't count though - for there was no Global Warming back then.

Explorers like me have been paddling and swimming to the North Pole for decades, and now we'd like to know how come we don't get to speak to the US Congress about “climate change and security.”
