The Team Has Left!

The Team Has Left!

Doug and his team of explorers (Paul Hubner, and his two sons Mark and Brent Hubner) have departed for Barneo and are ready to begin their journey across the ice to the North Pole.  They will probably travel about 90 miles, and expect to arrive at the pole in approximately a week's time.

Stay tuned for more coverage!
