Some places on our planet are so out reach that their very isolation has stirred generations of explorers into voyages of adventure and discovery. One such place is the North Pole. Sailing onboard one of the world's most powerful icebreakers, we head north from Murmansk through dense, multi-year pack ice to the North Pole - a worth goal for our amazing ship.
