    This is wild! Did you go on this trip, did they make it to the north pole?

    Yep, I took this in 2010 on ICEX, a biannual exercise by British and American subs. We were up there for about a week doing acoustic testing and helping scientists measure ice thickness, drift, and a bunch of other stuff.

    We didn't make it to where you could stand on the North Pole, but we did drive across it while submerged.

    Is the North Pole on ice sheet only? I'd thought that there would be some solid rock down there.

    edit wow apparently not. Awesome life achievement
