Shippam falls short of the North Pole
Thunder Bays' Dale Shippam is safe after quite an adventure near the North Pole. Shippam is a heart transplant patient who tried to ski to the Pole with his doctor Heather Ross. However, wife Peggy Shippam says they came up short. She says a moving arctic ice floe proved too dangerous. She says eventually a helicopter rescued them from their camp and the high winds and minus 40 degree temperatures.
