Top Gear's polar special puts Jeremy Clarkson and James May in a diesel Toyota Hilux against Richard Hammond with sled dogs in a race to the magnetic North Pole. No one has ever driven to the Pole before and the crew see if the Toyota is up to the task.

The distance between Resolute in northern Canada and the magnetic North Pole at Ellef Ringnes Island is 320 nautical miles [450 miles]. It's a journey across sea ice and unforgiving mountainous terrain where temperatures can drop to minus 65ºC - a temperature at which exposed skin can freeze in less than 30 seconds. Only fools would attempt such a journey. So Jeremy and James are attempting to do it in the now legendary Toyota Hilux and Richard hopes to make it on a sled pulled by ten Canadian Inuit dogs. Watch the complaints from environmentalists roll in.
