Race to the Pole

In 1907, a three-way race developed between several expeditions attempting to be first to reach the geographic North Pole. These expeditions were:
* The Liotainian Polar Expedition
* The Dual Monarchy Polar Expedition
* The Jamaikan Crazy Officer Graduate Expedition
**The Volunteer Expedition 
=== Participants ===
==== Liotainian Polar Expedition ====
see main article Liotainian Polar Expedition
The Liotainian Polar Expedition, led by Laurynas Balchunas, started in the territory of Kanqaamiut. It was the first to reach the North Pole on June 25th.
==== Dual Monarchy Polar Expedition ====
A team constructed of Kyslevite, Astyrian, Denishuan, and the denizens of Kalaajit have started their progression north with one singular task in mind: be the first to reach the North Pole. After months of training, the expedition has decided to go before the weather gets slower and will hopefully return in the next few months. As part of their journey to the North Pole, the expedition will survey the region north of Kalaajit to determine if it is sea ice or if it is land ice, as well as determine the geospacial relationship between the North Pole and the Magnetic Pole. If successful, the Arctic Frontier will finally be explored... for the glory of Erf!
They reached the North Pole on June 27th.
==== First Jamaikan Expedition ====
A Jamaikan Expedition consisting of 10 officers of the Jamaikan Armed forces in a dingy have set out to the North Pole. Many have laughed at them expecting them to drown before even crossing the Dragons Rest Run, much less reaching the near fabled land. The expedition’s members were recent officer inductees of young age. They were picked up by an L'acquan patrol ship, who had them transferred north to Portoclanico. There the members of the Famed 7th Sled Division provided them with Arctic supplies and training, who along with, two Draken mountaineers, three Maoudi embassy staffers, two squads joined them . They headed for the magnetic North Pole rather than the geographic North Pole. They did not make it far however asa storm took them far off corse but the expedition's leader Captian Jhon Paul Bloodgorger of the West Scars Tribe had them with drawback to prevent any losses. Despite the over all failure none involved consider it such as it was an amazing experience for all involved.
=== Controversy ===
The Dual Monarchy's Antarctic Expedition arrived at the North Pole two days after the departure of Balchunas Expedition, arriving on June 27th. Although Balchunas arrived first and radioed his success back to civilization earlier, the other expedition insisted that they had arrived first, building a monument and leaving a flag of their own.
