Host Matthew Millan travels to Bristol, England to meet Alan Chambers MBE, one of the most accomplished polar explorers of his generation. Recapturing the spirit of the heroic age of polar exploration, Alan Chambers led the first successful British unsupported expedition from Canada to the Geographic North Pole. They walked 672 nautical miles in temperatures as low as -65°C, dragging a sledge the weight of a baby elephant. After a gruelling seventy days on the ice, on 16th May 2000, Alan and his teammate raised the Union Jack.

Since that remarkable achievement, Alan hasn't let up. He has subsequently led over a dozen North Pole expeditions with top business leaders and chief executives, and led an expedition to the South Pole at the end of 2019. Like the great explorers of the past, Alan is a dreamer who through meticulous planning, and sheer force of will, stretches the limits of human achievement.
