From our History Archives: Pictured above is Mr. Hamilton Lokey, father of Bill Lokey (founder of Forty Below, Ltd) standing at the North Pole on April 16, 1984. Notice the Forty Below Mt. Everest model overboots he is wearing. He had been to the South Pole in 1964 as a guest of the Navy’s Operation Deep Freeze. It was calculated that he was the 8th person to stand on both poles. He went to the N. Pole with Skip Voorhees of Medina, WA who was running tours there. They flew on a ski equipped Twin Otter from Tanqueray on the N tip of Ellesmere Island.
