It’s both fascinating and funny how some people have this burning desire to go and see what lies at the end of the Earth when many of us just want to snuggle in our blankets. If you are the former group of people then kudos to your grit for planning a trip to the North Pole.
The North Pole is much more than the hometown of Santa Claus where the feeling of Christmas stays throughout the year. You can call it ‘nature’s wonderland’ where everything is untouched and untamed color.
A trip to the North Pole will gain more popularity in the coming years as a tourist destination where people would want to go to unwind from the hustle-bustle of city life. It will blow your mind with all the unique things it has to offer and you will realize what you have been missing all your life.
Brace yourselves for the chilling details (throwing an extra blanket on myself). The North Pole has a “warmer” season which is in July when the temperature is 32℉ | 0℃ and the lowest temperature goes well below zero where you can actually experience chattering of your teeth.
Things to Look Forward to On Your Trip to the North Pole
The Aurora Borealis
The Aurora Borealis, also called “the Northern Lights,” is nature’s own dancing light show. Here’s some geeky information if you’re curious as to how the Aurora Borealis phenomenon occurs.
The Sun’s electrically charged particles collide with Earth’s atmosphere, its particles, and gas resulting in this scintillating phenomenon. Just like your mood, the Auroras are never the same, and catching the Northern Lights are on many bucket lists.
You can plan your trip to the North Pole around the time when Northern Lights are easier to experience to take back a memory that will last a lifetime. If you get a chance to experience these, consider yourself both lucky and blessed.
A Snowmobile Adventure
The extreme weather and dangerous landscape are a thrilling combination for risk-takers and adventure lovers. A snowmobile adventure is an experience you would not want to miss during your trip to the North Pole.
You will have to follow an expert guide to explore the winter landscapes the North Pole has to offer. This one hour or longer adventure will give you a glimpse of the wildlife of the region including fox, moose, and snowshoe hare.
And what’s more soul-soothing than gulping down some hot coffee and snacks down the throat after this exciting adventure?
Hot Air Balloons
Another fantastic highlight of a trip to the North Pole is the hot air balloons. Imagine the priceless feeling of rising high above the ground and experiencing something that only a few people are able to and enjoying a 360° view of the icy wonderland. Talk about heaven on Earth.
On a hot air balloon adventure, you can spot polar bears, whales swimming in the blue water, and other wildlife which will add up to making your whole trip worthwhile.
You have to see it to believe it. Your trip to the North Pole would certainly be enhanced by a magical adventure like this one.
