I've started this timeline, but it is by no means complete. Please add to it. Carcharoth ( talk) 00:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
the 2011 expedition needs to be removed. the telegraph have retracted the story and apologised with correction. That expedition fell over 400 miles short of the north pole and Ice was not free - there was still over 4 million square kilometres surrounding the true pole. This reference should have been checked before taking a stories word for it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.182.222.36 ( talk) 02:12, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
Suggest referencing 1998 trans-polar autonomous ski crossing: Log of expedition. Announcement of Expedition, and 1998 documentary "Arctic Extreme: 118 Days in Captivity of Ice" Deltree -y ( talk) 14:21, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
I have made a number of additions, although the list is still incomplete. It would be better entitled "List of major Arctic Expeditions". I don't believe that the WW2 Arctic convoys should be included, as their purpose had nothing to do with exploration. Brianboulton ( talk) 18:29, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
The suggestion above is List of major Arctic expeditions. Another possibility, I think, is Timeline of Arctic exploration. It would probably be best to be consistent with List of Antarctic expeditions. Maybe that could become Timeline of Antarctic exploration? Remember that History of Antarctica also exists, and that History of the Arctic does not. Carcharoth ( talk) 22:14, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Changed "Karluk Voyage" to " Canadian Arctic Expedition". Since this is a redlink, I left a link to Karluk (ship). I'm planning to start a stub, hoping someone who knows more about it than I will get interested. Dankarl ( talk) 22:55, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Stub is finally up; cleaned up list entry. Dankarl ( talk) 20:28, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

In Russian, Bezvestnaya (Безвестная) means 'Unknown'. It's not a valid name, it just means that there was an expedition that we don't know much about, except the fact that it happened. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.126.20.163 ( talk) 11:32, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
I just listened to https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/podcast-recounts-amazing-story-first-all-women-north-pole-expedition-180963996/--the first all-women relay to the North Pole that took place in 1997. Sounds pretty notable--is there a reason why it isn't included? 108.50.193.97 ( talk) 17:56, 12 October 2018 (UTC)
