overall impression of the expedition was that it was wonderful.

difficult journey." - Dave M. (2009 North Pole Dogsled

my expedition was excellent! The guides were by far the most
approachable I've worked with, always going the extra mile and
asking for our feedback. Our opinions mattered and were taken
into consideration and often implemented. If you are thinking
of going to the North Pole - go for it!!! The North Pole is
a magical place not only in imagination but in experience as
well. To stand at the top of the world where time means nothing
and living in the now truly means everything is a unique and
lasting memory that I will never forget! Great trip. I look
forward to others. I recommend without hesitation NWP!"

of 'extra effort,' I would like to say I really appreciate all
the 'after sales' effort you have all made, especially on the
photos and DVD. I think this is one of the points which lifts
you above your competition, a point which you should all be
proud of and maybe a pont which you should market more."

first glimpse of the Pole marker as we were approaching on our
skis willstay with me forever. It's a place I'm unlikely to
be again. Even if by some strange chance I find myself there
again, to see it for the first time, and to have made it there
myself on skis, it's a feeling I don't think I will ever duplicate."
