A couple from Brazil are doing a 360 degree trek around the world the hard way.

Ben Weber and Natalia Almeida are attempting to be the first expedition to travel around the world on the polar axis.

Ben says they are doing the trek with human powered transportation such as bikes and skiis. They have spent the last couple of weeks travelling North and spent the last two days in Thompson. Today they continue their journey from Gillam to Baffin Island.
