  Good video. I hadn’t even heard of the Nautilus expedition. Totally seems like something I would have already gone down a Wikipedia rabbit hole on.

  The biggest takeaway for me was learning the North Pole isn’t actually on land but rather sea ice. I had always assumed it was on a continental landmass.

    It moves around a lot.

  Did they expect the ice would be less than 20ft thick under the North Pole? I don’t see how they expected to be able to surface.

    Purely speculating, but, they may have thought that the thickness varied even deep into the interior of the ice caps for some reason, hence why the guy doing the modifications to the sub wanted that light sensor to gauge thickness.
