The man who cycled across the frozen Arctic

(CNN) —"Ben Page set up the shot. He erected the tripod, attached the camera, pressed record.

I wish I had it in me to do something like this, but alas nearly 60 and only happy to ride Australia now. If my years between 17 - 45 were not with the army, I think I would have travelled more extensively and done more cycle touring then I had done in my early years. It is a credit to these travellers whom get out of their comfort zone and do things like this. A well done video. Enjoyed it
