A British explorer has made history by becoming the first person to reach seven of the planet’s most inaccessible places .

Chris Brown, 63, is on a mission to visit all eight Poles of Inaccessibility (PIAs) - the exact spot on a continental land mass or ocean that is furthest from the sea or coast in any direction.

He has already ticked off six of them in North America, South America, Africa, Australia, the Antarctic , and the oceanic pole at Point Nemo in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Now he has notched up his seventh after reaching the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility (also known as the Arctic PIA), which is around 400 miles from the geographic North Pole.
