Explorers Club Flag 61 · April 2018

North Pole

The youngest scientific expedition to the North Pole, as YoungExplorer.org describes it.

In April 2018, three families travelled to the North Pole. The Garriott children were three and five; our twins were seven.

The NORTH expedition, April 2018.

We wanted the children to take part, not simply come along. They collected snow and water samples for Dr. Dimitri Deheyn’s lab at Scripps, looking at microfibers and microplastics. We also ran a North Pole marathon.

The expedition carried Explorers Club Flag 61. YoungExplorer.org has the expedition’s press, education, team and objectives ↗.
