Large 1986 North Pole Sled Dog Expedition Will Steger - Ann Bancroft Team poster SIGNED by Ann Bancroft. It measures 23.5” x 20” in frame.

This expedition was featured in the September 1986 issue of National Geographic.

This expedition team reached the North Pole after enduring 56 days and 1,000 miles across fractured, shifting sea ice in temperatures that dipped below -70 degrees Fahrenheit. The epic ski and dogsled trek with its eight-member, 49-dog crew was a deliberate throwback to the days of the early explorers. This accomplishment, the first confirmed trek to reach the Pole without resupply, was deemed by National Geographic “a landmark in polar exploration.”

The poster is inscribed and has some waving on the top (see pictures).
