STRATUS CLOUDS, GREENLAND
Eight hundred miles south of the North Pole, stalactite-like stratus clouds—churned by 90-mile-an-hour winds—and the light of a bruised dawn paint an apocalyptic portrait over Inglefield Bay.

Lt. Commander Richard Byrd testing the glasses he planned to use during his flight over the North Pole. He sailed from New York on the S.S. Chantier on April 1, 1926. With him is Dr. Daniel O'Brien of John Hopkins University, who acted as a medical aid on the expedition. When Byrd returned, he became a national hero.

"...many explorers had this lofty goal, they wanted to reach the North Pole the arbitrary place on our planet that is just a bunch of ice sheets sliding around, where all the longitude lines come together.
The place we just decided with math is the top of the earth. [...] that is what we are talking about. That is what the explorers wanted to get to... . . . so why attempt to reach an arbitrary bit of ocean that's super impractical and risky?
Because it's there dummy, we're humans we don't ask questions like that we just have to go"
"Who Really Got to the North Pole First?" by Johnny Harris
Oh this is SOOOOOOOO humans are weird proof. Not even meant to be in the genre, it falls into it because sometimes HASO tropes are too accurate. The guy loses 8 toes during the expedition..... and still decided to try and reach it again.
