Presenter John Huston and his expedition partner are the only Americans to reach the North Pole unsupported, after a journey of 55 days and 475 miles. After hauling, heaving, and slamming through ice rubble, they slid and swam and finally sprinted in a dash for the Pole. The presentation features stunning photographs and videos from the journey and a display of expedition clothing.
