00:00:21 Hello and welcome to a Top Gear special.
00:03:15 Inside, there was marine satellite navigation
00:06:16 How can you practise being cold?
00:08:33 There's no, "We'll just get another tent."
00:10:48 You will have the polar bear problem
00:12:55 My colleague here is convinced we're going to fall through the ice.
00:14:58 I didn't know he'd be THIS bad.
00:17:46 but I think the time has come to say, let's see how easily we could get to the top of Everest.
00:20:13 Everything about tenting is designed to make your life
00:22:34 so I could get out of the poo stream and run alongside.
00:25:26 and that's, er, the rest of the bits of seal
00:28:32 ..and discussed how we'd celebrate when we made the Pole.
00:30:39 The car was sinking...
00:32:49 and the nearest rescue helicopter even further than that
00:34:59 WIND HOWLS
00:37:24 Which was good, because soon it came face to face with this...
00:40:35 I can just see one, the other one's miles away
00:43:39 No, James, it won't do it.
00:46:31 However, we now had barely enough fuel to get to the Pole.
00:49:00 Look ahead! Look! We've done it! We are out!
00:51:49 It had taken on the impossible... and it had won.
00:54:28 Sky.Yes.
00:58:26 Come on. Come on.
01:01:18 the inconvenient truth is it doesn't appear to have even scratched the surface.
