| 2004-04-29 | ||
JEDDAH, 29 April 2004 â âWe wanted to step over it and raise the Saudi flag on the most extraordinary place on earth. And we did it!â In early March, two veteran Saudi skydivers â Mubarak Al-Swailim and Ibrahim Al-Sayad â set off to realize their dream. Now back in Jeddah, they have achieved it, having successfully skydived over the North Pole in the first attempt by any Saudi or Arab nationals.

| #1 Canada sent a dog sled team to recover the flag but seeing as the guy had to stop for prayer five times a day so close to the pole he lost his bearings. The Danes offerred to help but they had already dropped their flag off. |
