Bader Al Shuaib first Kuwaiti to reach both poles

Bader Al Shuaib became the first Kuwaiti to visit both the North and South geographic poles. Last month Bader reached the North Pole onboard the Russian nuclear powered icebreaker ship, post his South Pole visit, situated in the heart of Antarctica, on New Year’s Eve 2022.

Both poles are considered the farthest points on earth to travel to, where all directions point to either North or South only. Bader is currently rounding up his travels around the world to every country that is recognized by Kuwait, with at least 170 countries under his belt so far.

On his journey to the poles, Bader says that they were extraordinary experiences, each one unique, as the journey to reach them clearly varies, and climate-wise too they differ.

Bader is steadfast on educating his followers on Instagram about the two poles and how they distinctly differ, and he would like to correct any misinformation many have about the two poles and the journey to get to them. Bader reaffirms that there are tourist expeditions available every year, however, they come at a high price.
