U.S., EUROPE TAKE STEPS TO ADVANCE POLAR SATELLITE COOPERATION
NOAA and the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites today announced they have signed a Data Denial Implementation Plan, which secures the continued flow of real-time meteorological satellite data from NOAA-provided instruments onboard EUMETSAT’s MetOp spacecraft to public duty users in the United States and EUMETSAT Member States during episodes that might otherwise require data denial. Data denial means real-time data from U.S. environmental instruments can be denied during periods of crisis or war.
There were other anomalies discovered by the space missions that I didn't mention. The astronauts found it extremely difficult to drill into the surface of the moon below the loose dust layer. When the discarded descent stages of the spacecrafts crashed on the moon, NASA noted that the moon "rang like a gong or bell" for up to four hours after impact.

I don't think it has to be done at great expense.
I don't need a tracked hummer, a iceberg ship, a plain, helicopter, snow bike or permission from the us government.

Less talk and more action is in my view the only way to move to the truth.

Weirdness surrounding Expeditions
* The locations at and around the North Pole are heavily militarized. The northernmost landpoint is a forbidden zone you are not allowed to be on without military permission (talking about the "Thule" airforce base at the place called "alert" (two very strange location names). Other places such as North Canada, Alaska and Russia all have plenty of military, navy, airforce bases.
So...what is your attitude towards these things?

Fair enough. You`ve still got quite a bit of time, as long as you`re not mad enough to attempt this in winter.
Check with these guys: www.thepoles.com - they`ve got plenty of resources for arctic trekking, a logistics network and (most importantly) an experience base to draw from.
I`m really hoping that by "on foot" you mean on ski, snowshoe, and with an inflatable kayak in tow though.

I am truly amazed H.P Lovecraft never did anything with this. He would have an absolute ballpark

That's fine, you can have your own opinion but I don't have anything to prove to you or anyone so......
People have and continue to go to the north pole as we speak. I don't plan to go to the north pole but only a fraction of the distance in a different direction in a similar way to those that have gone to the pole.
I only started this thread to find out if other people were thinking of doing this investigation on a small scale.
My expedition will not take off from the US, I am closer than that.
