The North Pole I traveled to the North Pole on this Russian icebreaker. We never got on the ice with the bears. Definitely unsafe! This walrus was very curious. He came up to the boat and his tusk went through the rubber! This rubber zodiac took us to many Arctic islands. Divers in the Arctic waters say the walruses never use their tusks on them. So many photographers. One bear. This bear is looking up at us on the ship. A honk from a seal keeps us away. We visited a local village. Are these freezing men brave or foolish? I'm standing at the geographical center of the North Pole!
