In Top Gear’s most ambitious and arduous challenge to date Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond attempt to race from Northern Canada to the North Pole, 450 miles away. The terrain in between is some of the toughest on earth - a mix of mountainous land masses and jagged sea ice where temperatures can drop to a mind-numbing minus 65 degrees Celcius (minus 85 degrees Fahrenheit). Jeremy and James will be driving a specially adapted pick up truck whilst Richard will be travelling on something a little less high tech - a sled pulled by a team of ten Canadian Inuit Dogs.

Looks like a laugh :)

Will air in the UK on 25th July, will be on the torrents shortly after.

Matt.

Excellent and entertaining as per TG usual. The Icelandic antics are great, though I wish they fleshed out the technical side of things a bit more.

Would have been great in a Landy though :)
