On May 11, 1986, Jean-Louis Etienne reached the geographic North Pole after 63 days of solo trekking, a world first that marked the history of polar exploration. Forty years later, the adventurer from Tarn looks back on this foundational achievement and continues his scientific and ecological commitment with new expeditions like PolarPod. <\/h3>\n
