The ‚Last Degree Trip’ to the North Pole with guests was another success although the group led by Thomas Ulrich eventually depended on a Russian helicopter to help them reach the Pole: The aim of the expedition from April 7 to 20 was to cross the last degree of latitude on skis, a distance of 120 km, which the group consisting of 9 people wanted to cover in one week. The team - one participant had to be evacuated on the way – fought against storms and in particular a persistent southern drift. Eventually they were flown back to the Russian base of Borneo by a Russian crew with a short stopover at the North Pole itself. Nevertheless the trip was an unforgettable adventure and a great experience for the whole team .
