On April 2 2010, a group of 11 people, guided by Dixie Dansercoer and Troy Henkels, will conduct an expedition to the North Pole. All of these expeditioners are active professionals with busy agendas and a passion for the outdoor and nature. They have collectively decided to make time for a long process of physical and mental preparation in order to head out for the North Pole, the point where the Earth’s rotation meets the Earth's surface.

The NorthBound Quest is for all of them a challenging adventure where all of them will have to go beyond their own limits. To reach to North Pole, a preparation period of two year is necessary to start as much as possible physically trained at the start of this journey, walking the Last Degree (from 89th Degree to the 90th) on foot in harsh conditions.The North Pole is situated in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, amidst waters that are most of the time covered by drifting sea ice. This makes the journey very unpredictable and together with the extreme cold temperatures that can go below -30 degrees reaching the goal is not evidence. And it’s exactly what the group is looking for!
