American Richard Eitel, born on December 17, 1929, fulfilled his lifelong dream at the age of 95 - he visited the North Pole. This is reported by the Guinness Book of Records.
For a long time, he did not have the opportunity to go on such a journey until his relatives decided to help him carry out his plans.
On August 10, after a long sea expedition, Eitel became the oldest person in the world to reach the northernmost point of the planet - at the age of 95 years and 236 days. He surpassed the record of another American, Edward Stahl, who visited the North Pole at 90 years and 334 days.
Upon arrival, Richard not only took a photo on the deck of the ship, but also went on a ski trip across the tundra. korrespondent.net.
