Misfortune for Ben SaundersPosted by Brendan in nature , in the mag , arctic , adventures |
Ben Saunders, the Arctic adventurer who was interviewed for (Cult)ure a couple of weeks ago, has had to abandon his attempt to reach the North Pole only a few days into his expedition, due to a broken fuel container that contaminated most of the food he was carrying. He has decided to try again next year, rather than having more fuel and food flown up to him for a renewed attempt on the receding ice this spring. (You can read the full story at the expedition's website, here.)
