Paul Hubner, Baffin's president, is trekking to the South Pole in January 2008 with a group called Adventure Network International. The extremely cold temperatures, the strong winds, the high altitude and the remoteness make this one of the harshest places on earth, which makes it an excellent place for testing Baffin boots and figuring out ways to make the technology perform even better. Paul will be raising money for charities for northern youth, as well as Polar Bears International.

An excerpt from the feature-length documentary "Living in the Shadow of the Moon-Dog: A South Pole Diary" by Paul C. Daniels and Michael Pfaendtner. In early 2001, just days before Paul C. Daniels left Detroit to spend nine months locked into the most remote and isolated outpost on the face of the planet, he bought a Sony Handy-Cam recorder to keep a video diary of his experience. He captured the winterover lives of 50 people at the US Antarctic research station "South Pole", located on the highest, driest, coldest continent on earth. Through equipment failures, conflict, fierce storms, -100F temperatures, hypoxia, and the unexpected illness of the station's doctor, the crew could rely on no one but each other to survive.

Montage of our fieldwork on Spitsbergen (Svalbard archipelago, Arctic Norway) during the summer of 2008. The Svalbard archipelago in the Arctic Ocean consists of several islands, with Spitsbergen being the largest of them. The svalbard archipelago is located approximately halfway between the Scandinavian Peninsula (Europe) and the North Pole. Since 1925, Svalbard is part of Norway (see also: en.wikipedia.org ). The largest settlement on Svalbard is Longyearbyen, where we started our expedition. We hope you enjoyed our video! Music by the Norwegian band "Xploding Plastix".

Svalbard 78 degrees north, where about 2200 people and 3000 polar bear live. This is true north; by the music from the Norwegian film Orion's Belt. Svalbard is an archipelago in the Arctic Ocean north of mainland Europe, about midway between Norway and the North Pole. It consists of a group of islands ranging from 74° to 81° North, and 10° to 35° East. The archipelago is the northernmost part of Norway. Three islands are populated: Spitsbergen, Bear Island and Hopen. The largest settlement is Longyearbyen. The Svalbard Treaty recognises Norwegian sovereignty over Svalbard and the 1925 Svalbard Act makes Svalbard a full part of the Norwegian Kingdom. Svalbard is completely controlled by the Kingdom of Norway and is part of it. The Svalbard Treaty recognizes Norwegian sovereignty over Svalbard. However Norway's power over Svalbard has some limitations in taxation, environmental conservation, non-discrimination and certain military activity. Svalbard was made a part of Norway by a Norwegian act in 1925, thus Svalbard is not a Norwegian dependency. However, under the terms of the treaty, citizens of signatory states have rights to exploit mineral deposits and other natural resources "on a footing of absolute equality". As a result, a permanent Russian settlement, more or less autonomous, grew up at Barentsburg. Another Russian settlement at Pyramiden was abandoned in 2000. According to Per Sefland, Norway's governor on the archipelago, the Svalbard Treaty of February 9, 1920 ...
