WHO
An international team of modern day explorers
WHAT
A direct flight, from the North Pole to the South Pole
WHY
It has never been done before: no plane has flown directly from Pole to Pole before
It is unlikely that it will ever be done again: the northern ice cap is becoming unstable, and it may not be able to support landings at the North Pole after 2014
WHEN
October 1 – November 1, 2012
WHAT FOR
To draw the attention of the entire planet to dangerous and rapid changes in the environment
