North Pole

Kit Kovacs, a scientist at the Norwegian Polar Institute, raised the alarm about the Svalbard archipelago, halfway between Norway and the North Pole.

He was great friends with the late Sir Tom Farmer and famously cut his hair at the North Pole.

If you leave Kirkenes and head towards the North Pole, you come across the magnificent Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard at about the half-way mark.

High above the Arctic Circle, the archipelago of Svalbard lies halfway between mainland Norway and the North Pole.

Ms Hempleman-Adams previously became the youngest British female to ski to the North Pole at the age of 15.
