Row to the Pole has arrived at the 1996 Magnetic North Pole. Yes! I was so glad they picked the Magnetic North Pole from the year I was a sophomore in high school. You see, it turns out the Magnetic North Pole drifts about 35 miles every year towards Russia. Sure, this might be a Russian government conspiracy, but that’s no reason to not row all the way to the 2011 Magnetic North Pole. The Row to the Pole team selected the ‘96 because, well, who knows? I do know this, the only thing worse than rowing through the Arctic and finishing your goal is having people say, ‘Huh?’ once you tell them about it. I’m sure no one will remember it was the ‘96 pole in a few years.
