Geographic North Pole
The North Pole is a cold, lunar landscape showcasing the vulnerability of our planet. When I arrived at the pole in 2012 — on my own — I expected to experience a true sense of complete isolation. Instead, I found myself gatecrashing the wedding of Norwegian polar legend Borg Ousland, who was getting married. I probably did the first and maybe last gate crash of a wedding at the North Pole. Expect the unexpected.

Sardinia — Italy
