Frances Phipps
Frances Phipps was a Canadian, and the first woman who reached the North Pole( on April 5, 1971).
Phipps grew up in Ottawa, Ontario as Frances Coolin.
She was married to the Canadian bush pilot" Weldy" Welland Phipps, who had been her flight instructor, and the couple had nine children.
Along with her husband, she founded Atlas Aviation in Resolute Bay, Nunavut, which was at the time the most northerly charter air service in Canada.
The Phipps couple flew together to the North Pole in a Twin Otter ski plane to the North Pole, to install a radar beacon and to promote northern travel.
Because no woman had been to the North Pole before, Frances' trip was included in the" Guinness Book of World Records".
In 1972, Fran and Weldy bought a 48- foot sailboat, and for over a decade traveled the world by sea.
Phipps died in July 2013 at New Glasgow, Prince Edward Island.
Aleksandr Kuznetsov (explorer)
Aleksandr Kuznetsov was the expedition leader of the first undisputed team to set foot on the North Pole.
Other claimants, notably Frederick Cook( 1908) and Robert Peary( 1909) have been criticized for a lack of supporting logs, having no one to confirm sextant readings or other reasons.
Kuznetsov led the Sever- 2 team of Soviet scientists who flew and landed three Lisunov Li- 2s at the North Pole on April 23, 1948.
Soundings made by the team were the first to indicate an underwater mountain ridge beneath the ice and water at the North Pole.

On 4 May 1990 Ousland and Erling Kagge became the first explorers ever to reach the North Pole unsupported, after a 58- day ski trek from Ellesmere Island in Canada, a distance of 800 km.
In 1994, he made the first solo and unsupported journey to the North Pole from Cape Arktichevsky in Russia.
Between 15 November 1996 and 17 January 1997 he became the first in the world to do an unsupported solo crossing of the Antarctic, 1,864 miles from the edge of the Ronne Ice Shelf to the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf.
The ski journey was made with kite assistance and also holds the record for the fastest unsupported journey to the South Pole taking just 34 days.
On 22 January 2006, together with Mike Horn he began a journey to the North Pole in full Arctic night, successfully concluded on 23 March.
In September 2010, Ousland's team aboard" The Northern Passage" completed the circumnavigation of the North Pole.
A Russian team aboard the" Peter I" achieved the same feat in that season.

Emperor of the North Pole
Emperor of the North Pole is a 1973 American DeLuxe Color film directed by Robert Aldrich, starring Lee Marvin, Ernest Borgnine, and Keith Carradine.
It was later re-released on home media( and is more widely known) under the shorter title Emperor of the North, ostensibly chosen by studio executives to avoid being mistaken for a heartwarming holiday story.
This original title is an homage to the historic joke among Great Depression- era hobos that the world's best hobo was" Emperor of the North Pole", a way of poking fun at their own desperate situation, since somebody ruling over the North Pole would reign over nothing but a vast, barren, cold, empty, and stark wasteland.
The film depicts the story of two hobos' struggle( esp. vs." The Establishment") during the US' Great Depression in 1930s Oregon.
Its screenplay is quite significantly inspired by three separate, yet inter-related self- published seminal writings from earlier decades:
Jack London's better- known 1907 travel memoir," The Road", and, two lesser- known books, both by legendary hobo" A- No.- 1", pen-name of Leon Ray Livingston," The Trail of the Tramp", and his 1917 travelogue," From Coast to Coast with Jack London".
Carradine's character, Cigaret, uses the moniker that Jack London used during his hobo escapades, and like London, is portrayed as a young traveling companion to the older Livingston's A- No.- 1( played by Marvin), but that is where( some assert) the similarity between Carradine's character and Jack London ends, as Cigaret is portrayed in the film as immature, loud- mouthed, and not bright, opposite A- No.- 1's gracious and graceful seasoned veteran.
