The first attempt in history to reach all four North Poles in the same season ?

In February 2006, the British explorer Jim McNeill will make the first attempt in history to reach all four North Poles* (+-  1000 to 1200 miles)  in the same season.

The Arctic Pole which is the farthest point from any coastline – the so called “Northern Pole of Inaccessibility” is a point never before reached by a lone explorer.
