Men do not cross the Arctic Ocean very often. It is dangerous. It is dark in winter and very cold. The ice is dangerous, too. In summer the ice melts and moves quickly. In February 1968 Wally Herbert started his journey across the Arctic. He went with three men and some dogs. The men traveled slowly for five months. In the summer the ice melted so they stopped their journey. They stayed on pieces of ice. The ice floated in the water and took them to the North. On April 6th 1969 they reached the North Pole.
