Armchair Travels: To The Top of the World

Skiing and dogsledding to the North Pole

Join polar guide and director of the Wilmette-based company PolarExplorers Annie Aggens for an armchair expedition to the Geographic North Pole.

Learn all about the North Pole and what it's like to be on a polar expedition on the moving and shifting pack ice of the Arctic Ocean, and why there haven't been any North Pole expeditions in 5 years!

Annie Aggens loves the polar regions and gets to talk about them every day as director of the Wilmette-based company PolarExplorers. She has guided multiple expeditions to the North Pole, South Pole, Greenland, South Georgia Island and Iceland. She is the author of the Encyclopedia of Outdoor and Wilderness Skills and often lectures about polar history and expedition travel. Her role as polar guide allows her to teach people  about the effects of climate change on the Arctic and polar regions. Her Favorite tent pastime on expeditions? Playing her ukulele and having poetry slams. She serves on the board of the International Polar Guide Association.
