Sent: Saturday, December 27, 2008 4:54:37 AM Subject: Interested in travel to the North Pole Dear Jeff, Finding your website on polar travel is like stumbling upon something I didn't realize I was looking for, like meeting an old friend I didn't know I had. (I too have a daily ice coverage widget on my desktop!) I am a documentary filmmaker living in London, but originally from Santa Fe, New Mexico. I have been fascinated by the arctic ever since I was a child, and spent two summers working in Baffin Island after I went to college. Since then, I've made winter Nordic ski trips to those parts of the north readily accessible to Western Europe -- Svalbard, Iceland, northern Sweden and Norway. I am currently researching a film that would explore the fascination people like us have for the arctic, particularly at this dramatic moment when the arctic is being devastated by global warming. I am interested in documenting expeditions to the N. Pole, and also the apparatus around it -- the annual construction of Ice Station Barneo , for instance. Basically, at this stage, I am looking for people who might wish to participate in the project, which will take several years to complete. Along the way I hope to have a few new polar adventures, and to find fellow travelers for adventures in the future. I am particularly interested in the transformation of the Russian arctic into a staging ground for adventures (though I know the Svalbard - Ice Station Barneo route has perhaps replaced the Siberian route). I would love, of course, to travel to the pole myself, but I also would be eager simply to know more about your upcoming expeditions, and to understand more fully what fuels your passion, and above the all the ambition to reach the pole. I would be happy to telephone you from England at any point so we can speak further. Otherwise, email will work for now. I hope you had a Merry Christmas, and wish you the happiest of New Years. My best, Joshua Oppenheimer Dear Joshua,
Thank you very much for your letter, it sounds like you have a
passion for life too. Ever since I was a kid I used to watch
programs like Animal Kingdom and Jacques Cousteau and I loved the
outdoors. Even though I grew up in Chicago, there was always a
wooded area next to where I lived. I used to play behind the
Pullman factory in the dumps and that's where our family did a lot
of our shopping, if you know what I mean.
One day when I was eighteen, I was looking at California on the
map and I was thinking that California was so far that in my whole
life I would never be able go there. The very next month I was
getting off of the airplane in San Diego after joining the U.S.
Navy.
After boot camp and almost two years of school in Memphis, I was
transferred to Lemoore Naval Air Station, about thirty miles south
of Fresno and only seventy eight miles from the front gate of
Sequoia National Forest. I have fourteen years of climbing
experience in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I've only crossed the
equator one hundred and forty times, in one month, while I was
stationed on the USS Kitty Hawk.
Traveling to the North Pole is a fantastic experience and I was
very lucky to go on the very last true expedition to the North
Pole. In that I mean that we had to carry everything that we needed
to survive with us, where now it is just a vacation spot with
everything set up and your extreme protection clothing provided for
you.
I still have contact with friends in Khatanga which is a very
good feeling. The people there were incredibly unique and very
isolated from the rest of the world.
We are planning an expedition to the pole in early April through
Longyearbyen, Norway. The Conveyor Belt Current has slowed
considerably in the last eight years and the ice is growing this
year at a faster rate than it has in the previous two winters, at
least that is what I've been told. So it looks like the expedition
will be successful again this year.
To go to Siberia you will need special permission from the
Russian Government since it is considered "Closed Territory" and
even a Russian is not allowed to travel there without special
authorization.
We are also working on an expedition to the Falkland Islands late
next fall to find an airplane that was shot down by Mr. Neil
Wilkinson in the Falkland Islands War. Neil has made friends with
the man who he shot down and thought that he was dead, but was happy
to find out that he was still alive and well. Neil Wilkinson lives
in England also and has been putting a lot of work into this project
himself. Here's a link to the project as we have it so far.
../Adventures/Falkland_Islands_War_Guestbook/A1-War_Falkland_Islands_Guestbook.html
I have videos of our expeditions and videos of the very first
North Pole Marathon and I'm friends with Richard Donovan the founder
of the marathon since I have done a lot of promotion work on the
original project myself.
Thank you very much and have a nice day,
C. Jeff Dyrek, Webmaster
