Members of this Ski Vacation say, "Of course  it is colder on the North Pole than Chicago but because of the clothing you wear in the North Pole Weather, you will be much warmer."

One of the activities on the North Pole is to ski the last degree from Camp Borneo to the actual pole.  This is great, a degree is about sixty-six miles and everyone that takes that trip says it's fantastic.  I asked them if they got cold and the reply was an absolute NO!  This is one of the greatest misconceptions that people get when they think about the pole.  But the truth is, if you can go through a Chicago winter, you will have absolutely no problem on the pole, in fact, you are much warmer on the pole than in Chicago.  Why?  It's because when you go to the North Pole, you are prepared, you are wearing some super warm clothes that cover every inch of your body.  In Chicago, you are probably wearing dress clothes, no long underwear, no snowmobile suit, no Thinsulate gloves, etc.  Do you see what I mean?  There's a big difference in your clothing and that's why you are warm at the pole and freezing in Chicago.
 

 

Christopher Pala, Rediscovering the North Pole: The Oddest Place on Earth

The Oddest Place on Earth: Rediscovring the North Pole


Book Description
When Christopher Pala first landed at the North Pole, he fell so much in love with it that he took his girlfriend to ride the polar treadmill  on what he mischievously called the First Expedition to Nowhere. For a week, the couple skied every day to the pole, pitched their tent and drifted away from it as they slept. 

Between his five trips to the pole, Pala used his journalistic skills to peel away the layers of myth surrounding its discovery and capture  the untold story of the first men who indisputably stood there. 

 Pala is the first to chronicle the transformation of one of the most remote places on earth into a new Mecca for adventure travelers. Flying   in every April on Russian jets, he joined risk-lovers to parachute over it, balloon across it, attain it on skis and scuba-dive under it. 

But as he discovers, man's presence at the pole is still ephemeral and there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy the escape from ordinary  constraints of time and space provided by this breathtakingly gorgeous place that is not a place.   Excerpts of the book have appeared in Condé Nast Traveler, Blue Adventure, Polar Record and other publications. 

About the Author
Christopher Pala is a free-lance journalist based in Almaty, Kazakhstan. His work with United Press International and Agence  France-Presse took him to the Caribbean, West Africa, Russia and Central Asia, but no place captured his heart and mind more than the  North Pole.
