Display MoreOrigin founder Richard Garriott recently led an expedition to the North Pole. He conducted various science experiments on behalf of the
Explorers Cluband also helped make history by bringing along the youngest adventurers to ever make the trek - his children Ronin (3.5 years) and Kinga (5 years). The pictures below show them unfurling an Austin flag at the pole and conducting some very cool ice cave exploration. It sounds like modern technology makes the trip far less burdensome than in years past, but there is still difficulty getting the airplanes in and out. Richard
had to standon the return flight due to how crammed their plane was! I'm glad they were able to pull off such a cool trip safely. Check out Spectrum News

Back in Svalbard with the youngest boy ever to the North Pole! Everyone happy & healthy, happy to have power & internet!
