World famous Norwegian explorer B?rge Ousland gives green lights to release the astrological material that was used in conjunction with his expeditions to the North Pole and across the Antarctic 1994-97. B?rge became the first man to reach the North Pole solo and unaided in 1994, the first man to reach both Poles solo and unsupported in 1995, and in 1997 he was the first man to cross the Antarctic single-handed.

"Travelling by bus, boat, train or plane can occasionally be hazardous, but venturing single-handed and unsupported by skies to both North and South poles raises other questions than those that can generally be resolved in an academic sense by reference to an appropriate timetable or travelguide".

To reach the North Pole Ousland had to cover over 900km of snow, ice and open sea, with the danger of being overcome by polar bears - and temperatures dropping well below -35C!! To cross the Antarctic he covered 2845 km on skies - dragging his pulk behind him.

Ousland has now given his permission to release my contributions to these expeditions, which may be viewed at www.astronor.com/ousland
