The book North to the Pole, written by Will Steger and Paul Schurke, was published in 1986. It is a first-person account of an expedition to the North Pole and illustrates how seven men and one woman set out by dog-sled to accomplish the goal of completing the first "unsupported" expedition to the North Pole. "Unsupported" in that case means without resupply and only with the help of traditional navigation systems. The expedition is successfully completed within 56 days, and the crew is much praised and celebrated for it, especially by the media.
