Hi,

there is a little question about geography I am thinking about.
A friend of mine is interested in a trip to the (geographic) north pole. The travel agency offering 
this adventure sais that they would go to the north pole by ship.

My simple question is: Is that possible ? 
My old <<Asimov�s New Guide to Science>> states that the thickness of the arctic ice is up to 
1600 m - a little too strong for an icebreaking ship.

Who knows ?
Personal e-mails a very welcome.

Michael.
