On April 25, Chicagoan John Huston and his expedition partner Tyler Fish became the first Americans to complete an unsupported ski trek to the North Pole. Every night, they used a satellite phone to leave voice mail updates about their progress. Huston just returned and came into our studio to talk about the trip.

Check out the Huston and Fish’s blog from the trip. They used their Expedition to raise awareness and funds for caringbridge.org
