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.
Josée Auclair
Josée Auclair( born May 20, 1962 in Sherbrooke, Quebec) is a Canadian explorer.
She lives with her husband Richard Weber and their two sons, Tessum and Nansen, in the Outaouais region of Quebec, Canada.
Josée started cross-country skiing at the age of ten and began competing at fourteen.
She was a member of Canada's National Cross Country Ski Team and represented Canada at international championships, mostly in Sweden and Germany.
Between 1979 and 1982, she won four national titles in 5 km and 7.5 km competitions and, during her years at the University of Vermont, was a member of the relay team which won many honours.
On five occasions between 1999 and 2004, Josée skied to the North Pole as part of the" last degree expeditions" organised by Canadian Arctic Holidays, the Arctic expeditions and adventure company she operates with her husband.
She acted as the assistant- guide on four of these expeditions but in April 2001 she became expedition leader of the very first all- women team to ski to the North Pole from a Russian base.
In 2006, Josée was back in the expedition leader role for a group of 9 people heading from the North Pole to Ward Hunt Island at the northern tip of Ellesmere Island, Nunavut Canada.
On April 27, the group managed to reach latitude 88 50 ′.
However, bad ice conditions endangered their safety and they had to be evacuated and brought back to the Borneo drifting station.
In January 2007, Josée set foot in Antarctica for the very first time as a team of four women called upon her to be their expedition leader for a last degree expedition to the South Pole.
She is therefore the first Canadian woman to have guided expeditions at both poles.
Josée has traveled extensively in the Arctic since 1988 and has assisted her husband Richard and his partner Mikhail( Misha) Malakhov on several of their expeditions.
She has actively participated in preparing and outfitting four major expeditions to the North Pole.
Richard and Josée have over 20 years of experience and more than 45 Arctic expeditions to their credit( 13+ of them to the North Pole).
They are very well known across the Canadian Arctic, particularly in Nunavut.
They are leaders in tourism and specialists in North Pole and northern logistics.
The Weber- Auclair family also operates Arctic Watch, Canada's most northerly lodge located in Cunningham Inlet on Somerset Island in Nunavut.
Tshibinda Ilunga
Tshibinda Ilunga( born 17th century) was a Luba Prince and Emperor of the Lunda and their civilizing hero.
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.

Question: Do both Cinema 500 Km and Emperor Of The North Pole films have the directors from the same country?
