Noteworthy

Firstly, I'm a couple of days late with this, but Børge Ousland and Mike Horn made it to the North Pole unsupported and on foot from the coast of Russia after the first winter North Pole expedition in history. Part of this incredible achievement has me shaking my head in disbelief at the toughness of these two pros, part has me stroking my chin, squinting at maps and wondering about my diary for the next few years… (More photos from the expedition.)

Next up, for all the Britishers reading this, the clocks go forward tonight, and you may want one of these for tomorrow morning.

Lastly, some weekend entertainment. I bring you Max Milligan's photos from Peru, and a free Kleptones album for download and subsequent delectation.
