The North Pole | A place where the sun rises only once a year

At the North Pole, 90°N, the sun rises and sets only once throughout the year. All meridians converge at one point, and the 24 time zones overlap here, making time seem to lose its meaning. While time passes steadily and normally in other parts of the world, in this isolated place, the operation of time lacks a clear system. With only one sunrise and one sunset per year, the concept of 'day' also loses its meaning here. This place is also extremely peaceful and pristine. In 1995, members of China's first expedition to the North Pole wrote upon reaching it on foot: 'All is silent... It's like living in a vacuum, where the only sound is the rustling of my clothes.' As one of the most difficult destinations to reach in the world, it is so far from human civilization. The indestructible Arctic Ocean, the endless biting cold winds, and the inaccuracy of compass navigation due to magnetic declination mean that very few people have ever set foot on this frozen land. When you actually stand here, perhaps time is no longer determined by numbers, time zones, or the rotation of the Earth, but by the real experience of the present moment. In July/September 2024, board the world's only luxury icebreaker 'Commander Shagou', navigate through the frozen coast and glacier fjords, and reach the geographic North Pole at 90°N. At the top of the world, experience the ultimate solitude and romance, beyond which there is no further north. 🔖Embark on an expedition to the North Pole and become one of the world's super adventurers, a rarity of only 1/1000 each year
