A polar explorer attempting to traverse the North Pole next year to survey the Arctic ice has sent the world's most-northerly as-live transmitted video message.
UK explorer and environmentalist Pen Hadow (pictured right), accompanied by colleagues Ann Daniels (left) and Martin Hartley (centre), headed north for two hours from the Arctic's Eureka Weather Station to a point 80.0 degrees north to make the video transmission.
The video footage was transmitted from the Arctic Ocean using the Vanco Arctic Survey's satellite communications system.
Due to a lack of satellite coverage over the High Arctic regions, it took 18 minutes before the 1.5MB-sized transmission was received by the UK-based operations team.
