In this episode, we’ll dive into the first real attempts to conquer the North Pole in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. As explorers pushed farther into uncharted territory, they encountered dangerous icebergs, Arctic mirages, Indigenous communities, and extreme hardship.

The learning curve for explorers who wanted to go north would be steep. But that definitely didn’t prevent people from trying.
