It was November now, Arctic winter was descending. You can also sync your data to other online sports communities, such as Strava or TrainingPeaks. “We have to take that chance.”. After finding a solid floe to camp on, Ousland hand-bored ice screws at the tent’s corners and set trip wires around its perimeter that would trigger a deafening explosive shell. Close to midnight, Ousland and Horn began skiing again. Norwegians have long been the Earth’s premier polar adventurers, and in Ousland they see reflections of their most legendary explorers: Leif Ericsson, Fridtjof Nansen, and Roald Amundsen. Steel bars meant to stabilize propeller shafts broke so many times that engineers ran out of ⦠For most adventurers, simply reaching the North Pole in these conditions would mark their greatest accomplishment—indeed, skiing to the North Pole is considered by many the most difficult expedition in the world—but for Ousland and Horn, the hardest part lay ahead. Who was up there? During his adventure he learns about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas. The Arctic elevates this danger to an almost absurd level: The mortal threat of submersion looms constantly underfoot. T. OCLC WorldCat, 2018, SPT Details, WorldCat, viewed 1 October 2018, http://www.worldcat.org/title/south-polar-times/oclc/54495003. “Who else brings the nail? In his sled, Ousland had one lunch (a mixture of dried fruit, nuts, oatmeal, oil, and sugar) and a small bag of dehydrated fish soup. “Accidents happen quickly,” he says, “and it’s usually in bad weather when things go completely wrong.”. I ask ‘how.’ If I feel like I can do it, that for me is enough motivation.”. After 87 days of skiing across the top of the planet—and with their supplies exhausted—Ousland and Horn approach Lance, completing their traverse of the Arctic ice cap. At each degree they celebrated with Mike Horn Cake. They knew Ousland and Horn were exhausted. They had energy only for moving forward. “The disappointment of actually falling into the water and that it could cost me my life,” he says. As they struggled to find a secure place to pitch their tent, they realized they were on a peninsula surrounded on three sides by black ocean. They needed to cross a degree of latitude every six days to reach the ice edge to meet Pangaea before they ran out of food and fuel. “If you just sit there, they will come and they will eat you. In his journal, Scott writes about the perfect initial copy of the magazine, but acknowledges that in the circumstances, broad circulation would not be possible from their isolated location in Antarctica. Horn’s social media posts, sent every few days from the ice to his daughters for posting, had been his standard founts of inspirational-poster positivity. Exertion kept their vascular networks coursing with warm blood; when they paused, cold seeped into their chests. Horn paddled first, without the gear, until the rope neared its limit, when Ousland eased into his packraft bobbing on black water. Exploring the ice’s farthest reaches, teeming with polar bears and peril, has provided explorers one of the Earth’s ultimate challenges for over a century. Gamme suddenly regretted bringing fresh sausage. I picture myself back home instead of on the ice, and maybe I start questioning myself, ‘Why am I doing this?’”. Normally the men wouldn’t sleep near fresh bear tracks, but they were self-described “stumbling zombies.” Inside the tent, Ousland asked Horn to keep his ears attuned. Heated disputes broke out between the adventurers and the boat’s crew over the best route. Once in the tent, it could take an hour to brush the day’s accumulated ice off clothes and gear. But now, with the Arctic warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the planet, everything is changing. [1] It is bound in printed cloth. Plan, train, analyze The men did not appreciate the plane’s presence. To change the time, you must first change the time zone on your computer and then sync your Polar Loop 2. We remind ourselves every day that we must be even more careful as tired as we are now.”. Directed by Robert Zemeckis. Conditions were not made for flying or rescue. Norwegian journalists were on board to cover the story that seemingly half of Europe was now following, and Rotmo and Gamme were feeling the strain. Even if there were other explorers in this world willing to try, it’s unlikely ever to be repeated, due to the Arctic’s shrinking ice cap. They needed to get creative. “That was one of the strongest moments I’ve ever experienced.”, Horn, however, kept to himself. For example, in Australia, the magazine is protected under copyright until 2029. According to the National Weather Service, a polar vortex is a large low-pressure area with cold air surrounding both poles. After nearly two years of preparation and three decades wringing some of the final great geographical feats from this planet, the veteran explorers were now headed out for a final Old-World expedition. It is held by numerous public libraries worldwide. With focused desperation, Horn heaved himself from the water. Only one copy of each edition was originally printed. A passing Norwegian icebreaker happened to be in the sea north of Svalbard and would briefly be in position to serve as a refueling platform for a helicopter to reach them. A young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express. Finally, it was time for Santa to announce who would have the honor to organize the Great North Pole Christmas Party! The style of the magazine is colloquial and recounts the extreme conditions suffered in Antarctica. Ebbesen, who had worked with Ousland for years, had never heard him so exhausted and “into his resources.” Yet the legendary Arctic strongman, speaking in a weary monotone, did not hesitate or consult his ailing partner, “No, we will continue.”. The Folio edition includes an introduction specifically curated by Ann Savours Shirley, who is an expert in historical polar publishing. In the preface of the first edition, Scott provides some context for future readers by stating that "Owners of these volumes will possess an exact reproduction of the original South Polar Times." But the lead was longer than their 350 feet of rope, forcing them to cross simultaneously, a much more precarious maneuver. In such circumstances, libraries such as the National Library of Australia offer a microform copy. We knew we couldn't handle very much more at that moment.”. Ousland was pleased. The South Polar Times was a magazine created by the crew of the two Antarctic voyages led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott in the early 20th century: the Discovery Expedition (1901â04), and the Terra Nova Expedition (1910â13). Temperatures plummeted, yet fragile ice still slowed their pace. The magazine combines watercolour paintings, cartoons, and photographs with weather reports, essays, and other colloquial and scientific observations. Inspired by the accounts of polar explorers his father read to him as a child, Ousland has had a lifelong love affair with the Arctic and, in his words, “creating new history.” In 1990, at 28, he embarked on his first historic challenge, skiing unsupported to the North Pole. Posted on December 31, 2020 by Rick Spilman December 31, 2020. It won't be business as usual for the annual Polar Bear Plunge in 2021. Polar night is opposite of midnight sun (polar day), when none of the Sun's disc is visible above the horizon at all. [3] The magazine gives various accounts of the complex problems encountered by Scott, such as the weather, boredom, lack of resources and isolation. But another storm was blowing in—Rotmo and Gamme couldn’t wait any longer. Everyone was drifting on the ice. Ousland erected the tent while Horn rolled back and forth on the snow, allowing it to absorb water from his clothing. Against all odds, Horn escaped serious injury. Their noses and cheeks wore away into open wounds that wouldn’t heal in the razored air. With Polar Flow all your training data is easily available in one place. Norwegian authorities prepare a rescue operation for Børge Ousland.”, “After that,” Ebbesen says, “the whole thing detonated.”, Soon nearly every outlet in Norway, the BBC, and media across France, Germany, Switzerland, and much of Europe were reporting breathlessly on Ousland and Horn’s plight and imminent “rescue.”, Ousland, however, had other ideas. They’d steadily increased their skiing to 10 grueling hours per day. Buy a Polar fitness watch and get a free 60-Day trial to Les Mills On Demand! Being in a hurry is easier said than done when you’re towing hundreds of pounds of food, stoves, 56 liters of fuel, spare skis, a tent, sleeping bags rated to minus-40, and a single nail, a seemingly odd choice that would prove crucial later in the trip. But now, with its lack of submerged mass, the thin, light ice was more susceptible to wind. “But at the same time, I like it. For one eternal moment, Ousland stared into the unsympathetic depths of the Arctic Ocean and his own mortality. The Conducto⦠Even staying close, the men periodically lost sight of each other’s headlamps in the blizzard. Horn admits, “It felt like we were going the wrong direction.”. They called Ebbesen to offer an update. This way, only one person was in the water at a time. With the ice sheet now even more riven with leads (some a quarter mile across and 40 miles long), Ousland needed a new strategy. Horn leaned over the stoves to thaw zippers, his clothes frozen solid. Get Movies. Over this time frame and location the sea ice breakup has been occurring earlier. Other Arctic coups followed, including an expedition in 2010 when he led a crew in a small trimaran sailboat on a circumnavigation of the Arctic Ocean through both the Northeast and Northwest passages, the first crew to do so in a single summer season. Given the danger of potentially heading onto the ice to meet Ousland and Horn alone, Rotmo recruited another Norwegian polar heavyweight to accompany him, Aleksander Gamme, who’d once skied 1,400 miles alone across Antarctica. image copyright Conor McClory & Sophie Curran. Ousland had hoped to gain two to three miles per day thanks to the ice drifting in the direction they were headed, but now the men found themselves being blown the wrong direction. Horn’s frostbitten hands, virtually useless in the cold, were dangerously infected. “It’s like a valve opened,” Horn says, “and all of a sudden everything you do is difficult—lifting your arm, taking your skis off, lifting your legs.”. More than one polar adventurer has been swallowed by the frigid sea in the night, never to be seen again. “It was so borderline—we were so afraid they were going to do a big mistake. The proliferation of leads, a dozen or so a day initially, shocked the men. It is printed on one side of leaf only. They gorged on ox steak with potatoes and gravy, creamy spinach soup, and chocolate, so much chocolate. Horn was surprised to see Ousland wear his heavy down jacket. [8] Some of Wilsons notable works include the armorial title page which shows two empower penguins framing a shield. He says, “This was free-soloing El Capitan.”. In the tent, Ousland fired both camp stoves with the last of their fuel. Their spirits were high as they skied away from Pangaea, even as they strained to pull sleds more than twice their body weight. Threading a maze of ice-walled passages through the freezing sea, they navigated to 85 degrees and 34 minutes north, the farthest north a non-icebreaking vessel had ever reached. [5] Whilst editor, Shackleton also contributed substantially with original verses and writings. This is why he limits calls with his wife and daughter to once every couple weeks. “It is as if all of the odds are against us,” he wrote. Then he crouched naked over the stoves, steam rising from his skin. On Christmas Eve, a young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express, while learning about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas. Polar experts believe it's likely that within the next 20 years Septembers in the Arctic Ocean will be entirely devoid of ice, even at the North Pole. “We knew we shouldn’t make those mistakes. The lesson from that, says Ousland, is “always stay alert from start to finish.”. Lance appeared before them, its powerful beams flooding the horizon. Rotmo and Gamme had loaded their sleds with food and delicacies: chocolate, fine liquor, red wine. We’re 10 days away from the end. - Nov 23, 2020 - Christmas Express Incâs North Pole Times is celebrating 25 years of bringing the joy and magic of the holidays to children around the world. The defense bill includes $15 million for the annual cost to maintain the other Arctic-capable icebreaker in Seattle, the Polar Star, shown in 2017, until its replacement arrives. Where must they reach to be accessible to Pangaea? In September 2019, Børge Ousland and Mike Horn set out to ski across the Arctic Ocean. Earn 125 points on every ticket you buy. On the storm’s second day, he insisted they ski. Horn’s daughters had never perceived their indomitable father’s voice so listless. They didn’t say much in the tent either. As they neared the North Pole, the ice finally thickened and there were fewer leads. The South Polar Times offers an insight into the daily conditions, tasks and amusements of the expedition that is more evocative than any history book or biography. “He told me three or four times, ‘Mike, I’m cold, I’m cold.’ So I said the only thing I could say, ‘Let’s just go, let’s get to the boat. I mean you could survive 15 minutes in ice-cold water no problem—it takes a long time to die. Polar bear tracks. They did not eat cake. The South Polar Times has been described as a literary work that has never been equalled in similar conditions. The front page of the Norwegian newspaper Nordlys promptly read: “Polar Hero in Trouble. It would be a mark of failure. He called his Norwegian friend Bengt Rotmo, an experienced Arctic guide. Spreading their skis wide to disperse their weight on ice that bowed beneath them, they moved as quickly as their elephantine sleds allowed. Ousland led the way to the edge of the Arctic ice cap. All of this is correct. Calling it a “difference of opinion,” Horn says he was fine with a helicopter rescue, if it came to that, and didn’t care if people considered it a failure. Rotmo and Gamme were moving toward them cautiously, on newly formed ice so thin it was clear as glass. According to Ousland’s last report, he and Horn were still 60 miles away and nearly out of food. It won’t be me and you anymore. You can also change the time format (12h or 24h) in the Polar Flow web service. Under an overcast sky, Horn clicked off his headlamp and held his hand in front of his face. Ousland’s son was having trouble sleeping and mused to reporters that at 57 his father was “not as young as he was before.” Ousland’s mother, who had never before felt the need to call Ebbesen and check on her son during expeditions, rang over and over. By Yucatan Times on April 2, 2014 . Their ultimate success hinged on a simple equation: They had food—mostly oatmeal, nuts, and dried meat, individually bagged by Ousland—for 85 days, 10 more than they expected to need. But when they offered their bounty to Ousland and Horn, the men refused. They’d been saved by blind luck: If they’d crossed open water that day, the sled would have filled, soaking Ousland’s sleeping bag and other essential gear. As soon as they boarded the ship, Horn says, all of the energy left their bodies. They muscled over countless jumbled ridges of ice, with blocks as big as cars. "We can go further, we can hang on a little bit longer, we can fight harder.”. A glowing band appeared, then another, and the men staggered to a stop and turned off their lights. Shackleton's editorship of the South Polar Times has been described as "natural" as he "had a fondness for literature." “We never thought we were capable and prepared for such mental and physical fatigue.”. Horn, from South Africa, is a kindred soul also seemingly born for an earlier age of exploration. Ousland had planned their route to capitalize on two predictable Arctic Sea currents, the Beaufort Gyre and Transpolar Drift. [8] Further, of all the 400 total pages on such content, almost every text is accompanied by an illustration. Inhalations were sharp in their throats. Lighter matter such as humorous anecdotes and poems was also encouraged. They weren’t performing,” Ebbesen says. Now their expedition manager, Lars Ebbesen, was on the phone from Norway with a lifeline. Cameras flashed. With the explorers running low on food, members of their team back in Norway dispatched Lance, a steel-hulled vessel that was able to pick up Ousland and Horn farther north than Pangaea could travel. Introduce children in pre-k, preschool, and kindergarten age child to telling time on a clock with these super cute, Polar Express Printables. Ousland and Horn celebrate their arrival at Lance. The two explorers got as far north as they could on a sailboat named Pangaea, skied across the top, then boarded an ice-classed vessel—Lance—to head back to civilization. For example, the expedition's chief doctor is referred to as ‘Cutlets' throughout the publishment rather than his actual name, Reginald Koettlitz. When they crawled back into the tent, spending over an hour scraping ice from their clothes, they were no closer to their goal. “We were crying like babies,” Ousland says. When the train goes to pick up Billy the Lonely Boy, the Hero Boy applies the emergency brakes to let Billy on board, who at first declined to board but changed his mind. Even selecting a safe place to sleep was time consuming—and critical. The scientific findings that are dispersed throughout the South Polar Times are reflective of the substantial contributions the expeditions made to meteorology, magnetism, geology and biology. First limited edition of the complete collection of the South Polar Times, a periodical created by Scott's crew during his two polar expeditions on the ships Discovery and Terra Nova, with a slip signed by Ernest Shackleton and Rudolph Blakenburg Quarto, three volumes, publisher's gilt decorated cloth, all edges gilt, frontispiece to each volume, elaborately illustrated with engravings after the expedition members' ⦠They were well behind schedule and the equation was stark: with their remaining food, reaching Pangaea, says Ebbesen, “looked impossible.”, Meanwhile, a Norwegian reporter heard chatter of a possible rescue for the country’s polar legend. Until then, the idea of skiing to the center of the vast frozen wilderness at the top of the planet, relying solely on the gear and supplies one could carry, was considered impossible. For the next three days they skied with Sisyphean obstinance into the storm, crossing the 86th parallel by day, blowing back over it each night. Broken ice created difficult obstacles for the sleds. If those fail, he keeps a .44 Magnum in his waist belt. Horn struggles to make his way across a small crack in the ice, known as a lead. The documents released to the Times this week show a dark side to Santa's Workshop where nearly every Christmas Celebrator has their phone calls, texts, emails, and online histories recorded and mined for information on what gifts they want for Christmas. The wind was strong when they came to the largest lead yet, the far side lost in blackness. Illustrations were created by hand and all text was generated on typewriters in order that the magazine featured various perspectives and generated broad discussion. Børge and I become like the ice.”, The men occasionally had their differences, typically over the ever-looming issue of safety. Pushing the hot nail through plastic, he created hundreds of holes along the sled’s crack. Three years after that, he became the first person to ski across Antarctica alone. The ice had closed in and frozen it firmly in place and it would take two weeks of working with chainsaws before Lance finally could set sail for home. If that fails, Ousland incorporated a holster for his .44 Magnum on the waist belt of his sled harness (along with knife sheaths and personal flotation devices he sewed into the harness’s shoulder straps). Pummeled by wind, they skied into the maelstrom for two hours, but blew backward at the same speed. Meanwhile, Pangaea’s captain, Bernard Stamm, was reporting unusually hazardous ice conditions in the seas north of Norway. Speaking of magic, I got an email from Elise LeBovit of the Duck Inn that informed me that the Polar Express train has arrived at the Inn. The Polar Express is a 2004 American motion capture computer-animated musical Christmas fantasy film based on the children's book of the same title by Chris Van Allsburg and has a much longer story. The ma⦠Horn was first to paddle across to Rotmo and Gamme. He and Horn had an unspoken understanding, what Horn calls "a general feeling between us," that after everything they'd gone through, they wouldn't give up now. Screwing the tent down, they sheltered as gale-force winds of 50 miles per hour, strong enough to uproot trees, blew them backward—two men in a rippling tent on an ice plate—for a spirit-clobbering 28 miles. Ousland happened to be filming with a low-light camera and captured the moment when Horn fell through the ice one day before they finished their traverse. The polar ice caps are melting six times faster than in the 1990s, according to the most complete analysis to date. The mercury fell to 40 below zero Fahrenheit. Which is why, with the men’s fate in doubt, Norwegians were on edge. In his overwhelming exhaustion, he began falling asleep and stumbling while skiing the next day. Horn prided himself on his ability to hear threats outside the tent, a skill honed over decades in wild places. The South Polar Times offers an insight into the daily conditions, tasks and amusements of the expedition that is more evocative than any history book or biography. Horn replied, “I like it when it’s dangerous.”. Like most things this year, the event to benefit the Special Olympics Maryland is going virtual. Ousland climbed the stairs from the ice to Lance at a sloth’s pace (and would later fall descending the stairs from the bridge). Water!” he cried. (1907-14). Ice-class with a steel hull, it stood a better chance of reaching 82 degrees. But something else was now impeding their progress: The ice plates they were skiing on were drifting backward. To their profound joy, they discovered a bag of dried salmon sticks given to them by a friend in Nome and devoured it in short order. The South Polar Times was produced by the men of Robert Scott's two journeys to Antarctica: the Discovery expedition of 1901â04, and the Terra Nova expedition of 1910â13. On Christmas Eve, a young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express, while learning about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas. This was the plan to deter the giant white carnivore that roams here and leaves patches of blood-stained snow wherever it dines. The cause is melting sea ice. In extreme cold-weather environments, adventurers cite the maxim: Get wet, you die. Share. But Ousland and another Norwegian, Erling Kagge achieved the feat in 58 days. It was, Ousland says, “a moment I will always remember.”. Other events that are documented include the monthly acrostic. [11] Those who conducted such research offer another perspective in the South Polar Times. “It’s where my senses come alive ... you become, in a way, a complete human being” says Horn. They are hungry.”. Polar bears are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. The reason the Folio Society engaged in mainstream production was to publish the fourth volume of The South Polar Times for the first time. The last degree of latitude, from 89 to 90 degrees north, or 69 miles, took the men 11 days. [3] The winter of 1912 in Antarctica was marked by the death of Scott and several other members of his expedition party. His body responded well to the strain, falling back into familiar rhythms. âOnly one copy has been produced and this has been made as complete and perfect as possible under our circumstances, in the hope that the whole thing may be thoroughly well reproduced with all the illustrations when we get home.â The Polar Star suffered ship-wide power outages twice over the next 11 days. Horn agreed to try but felt leaving the tent with his cold-damaged hands was courting disaster. Rotmo and Gamme were out there somewhere. The men charged forward … straight into another storm. Horn was cold to his core. Set the time format: 24 h or 12 h.Then set the time of day. Two years later, he even married his wife at the North Pole. When syncing with the Flow app and web service, the time of day is automatically updated from the service. Ebbesen, himself a polar veteran, was deeply uneasy from the start about this expedition. They’d been skiing for 36 days and weren’t yet halfway, but they’d reached a psychological tipping point. Scott states that scientists contributions should be about their special subjects and scientific events of general interest. Horn bounded over rows of chairs when Ousland called him to the stage, and the two adventurers stood arm-in-arm in a sold-out Oslo concert hall to a prolonged standing ovation. Though both men were highly experienced polar veterans, it was their first time on the ice in the dark. The two explorers got as far north as they could on a sailboat named Pangaea, skied across the top, then boarded an ice-classed ship—Lance—to head back to civilization. And there was the matter of age, with both men now on the far side of 50. Over the course of the magazine's creation, three key figures were effectively editors. The shield is an impression of Mt Erebus. The moon rose and cast a cold glow across an empty world. I will be me, you, and them.”. Polar sports watches do much more than keep time -- a heart rate monitor keeps track of your pulse while you exercise, while a stopwatch function monitors your workout. For example, segments of the publication are titled ‘Events of the month' and offer stories such as ‘April 6: An exciting seal chase' , ‘April 11: His Majesty the King became Patron of the Expedition' and ‘April 13: Windmill collapsed.' The darkness was total now. The magazine was mostly produced in the months of May through to August. They’d been in total isolation ever since, making their way, stride by stride, along the increasingly fragile ice floes that form a floating cap over the Arctic Ocean. They left Lance at seven in the evening and headed onto the ice with sleds laden with food and armed with .44 Magnums and a rifle. Horn stretched his arms onto firmer ice while Ousland reached and got hold of his skis. When the clouds cleared, the icy world was revealed in starlight. The polar vortex is a spiralling low pressure system way up in the stratosphere above the North Pole. But given the time needed for nightly tasks—melting snow for water, scraping ice off everything, and sleeping—there were no more hours to wring from the day. They’d been vulnerable ever since. The ice was fracturing around them, opening in gaping cracks. Less than halfway through the trip, the men entered the Arctic winter and trekked through perpetual darkness, with only their headlamps and the moon offering any light. Both of his thumbs were now painfully frostbitten, and the open sores became infected. That night he found a jagged crack spanning the sled’s polyethylene base. After hearing their news, he told them media coverage was at a fever pitch and he was being chauffeured to television studios to give live on-air reports. “Basically, I couldn’t touch my thumbs,” Horn says. Yet all his life, he’d dreamed of “a classic north pole expedition where we sail in with boats,” like the stories his father read him. Although specific roles were assigned to particular members of Scott's Antarctic expeditions, it is noted in the preface to the first edition that a central condition of the production relied on the notion that it was to be open to all and that "the men as well as the officers were to be invited to contribute to its pages.
