Youngest person to achieve a coast to pole trek to the North Pole (male)

Tessum Weber (Canada, b. 9 May 1989) was 20 years 340 days old when he completed a journey entirely on foot to the Geographic North Pole on 14 April 2010 – becoming the youngest polar explorer to have done so. Tessum was part of a four-man expedition that had left McClintock Inlet, Cape Discovery, Canada, on 3 March 2010 and reached the Pole after 41 days 18 hours on 14 April, having covered a straight-line distance of 780 km (484.67 miles). The expedition, which comprised Tessum's polar explorer father Richard, Howard Fairbank (South Africa) and David Pierce Jones (UK), received one resupply along the way to the Pole.

Tessum is the third generation of Webers to reach the North Pole, following in the footsteps of his polar explorer father Richard Weber and grandfather Hans Weber.
