16900 Euros. Layover at pole possible. Who is up for a vacation? Pack
your cold wx gear.
By the web page description, it's a much visited place.
I'd opt to ski in and fly out. Any takers?

To the gridsquare chasers out there, I have a question regarding the poles.
If a Ham was to transmit from the North pole what grids would he/she be
activating?
I've heard that RR could be the poles grid, but wouldn't the longitudinal
intersection of all 18 North grids from AR - RR converge at the pole?
That would give you 180 grids for one contact!
