The Catlin Arctic Survey is attempting to measure the thickness of the Arctic Sea ice by man hauling ice thickness measuring radar across the frozen Arctic Ocean.
Full details on the expedition is available here: Catlin Arctic Survey
Appalling weather conditions seem to be hampering progress and survey results, but I am sure the team will get back on track soon.
The team are using 'bleeding' edge technology to monitor heart rate, skin and core temperatures as they make their way across shifting sea ice that is pulling them away from the Pole, that has got to be annoying! The body statistic telemetry technology is provided by Equivital, very pioneering!
