Catlin Survey Team Reach the Top of the World
12 May 2010

Described as three of 'the world's toughest' explorers, Ann Daniels, Charlie Paton and Martin Hartley all former recruits of Ultimate Boot Camp reached the Geographic North Pole at on 12th May, ending a grueling 60-day trek across the floating sea ice of the Arctic Ocean.

The Catlin Arctic Survey expedition's headquarters in London were contacted at 20:05 hours (BST) to confirm the team had completed their final scientific data capture on the very top of the world.

The explorers have been collecting water and marine life samples from beneath the floating sea ice as part of the expedition's leading edge science programme which is assessing the impact of carbon dioxide on the ocean and its marine life.

Their celebrations could not begin until they had taken the last samples through a hole drilled manually through the ice at the North Pole.

"We called it our Hole at the Pole," said Ann Daniels. "Getting the science work done has always been our top priority, but it is absolutely fantastic to reach the Pole as well. We’re ecstatic."
