I involuntarily dry heaved at the frostbitten penis.


As opposed to voluntarily?

I heard about this when they were filming it (The Inuit intelligence network is nothing if not efficient).

I found it interesting they imported a white woman to run the dog team, which would've involved flying her and her team into Resolute Bay, at a cost of thousands, when they could have just hired a local Inuk. I'm crazy like that.

Also, cold-weather training in the Austrian Alps is just not smart for preparing for the Arctic. All jokes aside, we are taught to have complete and sullen respect for the Arctic winters - it can kill you for the slightest of mistakes.

And finally, I found it fitting that they all wore Gore-tex, and complained about the cold. A snuggly caribou parka, and they would have been sweating all the way to the pole and back.
