After 29 days, 13 hours and 53 minutes of progress over the frozen sea, we reached one of the most symbolic historical milestones of the project: the first magnetic North Pole recorded by humans, discovered by the British scientist James Clark Ross on July 1, 1831. We achieved it at 02:57 hours on May 5, 2025, after completing one of the hardest and longest days of the entire expedition so far.

"It was an extreme day. Very cold and at the same time magical. We saw the sun set and the sunrise again in just two and a half hours. The thermometer again read -20 °C and the snow, hardened by the compressing snowdrifts, forced us to force every step. We wanted to reach the coordinates that same day, so that we could rest the next day. So we pushed as hard as we could."

For almost fourteen hours - 13 hours and 53 minutes, exactly - we covered 25.6 kilometers dragging their sleds, now lighter, in a silent polar marathon. When we arrived, there was no sign of anything. Only the white immensity and the cold that gripped them. "Nothing marked that point. There was nothing but our presence, our steps on the ice, and a deep enthusiasm for reaching such a dreamed-of goal. It was a moment to remember, an intimate achievement for us."

There were no celebrations. Just a selfie of the three of us, hugging, with emotion frozen in a look of complicity. We were not making history. We were just respecting it.

Having reached the Ross Magnetic Pole, we reached the second of the four ephemerides proposed in the Sea of Ice 2025 project. In addition, we continued south on the mythical route number 4 of the Northwest Passage, following in the footsteps of Franklin's lost expedition -third ephemeris-.
