North Pole Expedition Training in Norway
Audun Tholfsen is a Norwegian polar guide and will be helping to guide the Greenpeace team across the sea ice to the North Pole. A Greenpeace team will be skiing to the North Pole to lower a capsule 4.3 Km onto the sea bed, containing signatories to their campaign to protect the Arctic from industrial development.
Before embarking on this grueling expedition across the Arctic sea ice, the prospective team members must acclimatise and learn crucial survival skills for skiing and camping in extreme cold.

North Pole Expedition Training in Norway
Participants from the Seychelles, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom Sweden and Norway gathered at Fefor in central Norway to meet and learn from experienced polar guides. Together they pulled heavy sleds of equipment, melted snow to cook with and pitched their tents in -20 degrees C. The training is to prepare for an expedition to the North Pole as part of Greenpeace "Save the Arctic" campaign with the aim of promoting a global sanctuary in the uninhabited area around the North Pole and a ban on oil drilling and unsustainable fishing in the wider Arctic. Before embarking on this grueling expedition across the Arctic sea ice, the prospective team members must acclimatize and learn crucial survival skills for skiing and camping in extreme cold. During the expedition the team will lower a capsule 4.3 Km onto the sea bed, containing signatories to their campaign to protect the Arctic from industrial development.
