It would seem like a strange hobby to travel to the poles of our planet. However, for Swedish entrepreneur Frederik Paulsen, it became a real passion. It took him thirteen years to visit all eight of the Earth's poles, becoming the first—and so far only—person to do so. Why are there eight poles? The fact is that in each hemisphere, in addition to the geographic and magnetic poles, there is also a geomagnetic pole, as well as a pole of relative inaccessibility. Achieving each of them is a real adventure; however, this book is not only about the travels of Paulsen and his comrades. She talks about the pioneering polar explorers, the history of polar exploration and, of course, reports interesting and little-known facts about the poles themselves.
