Inspiration
And aspirationsIt began with a journey
Our originsWhat drives one to explore and discover?
Is it a taste for knowledge? Is it a search for the exceptional? Some go in search of themselves, others in search of an escape, but whatever the goal, the traveller’s state of mind often counts much more than the destination.
The quest for the poles
An achievement
Dr. Frederik Paulsen
The first man to reach all 8 poles
As he pulls his sleigh towards the North Pole, Dr. Frederik Paulsen does not yet know that his love of adventure and his quest for unknown lands will lead him to other extremes: the geographic poles, the magnetic poles to which all compasses point, the geomagnetic poles that are the points where the axis of the Earth magnet intersects the Earth surface and the poles of inaccessibility which are located at the greatest distance from any land mass.
From one hemisphere to the other, he reaches the poles one by one and threads them together into a new record: he is the first man to reach all 8 poles of our planet. The businessman’s entourage of scientists, writers, and friends help him push his own limits.
