possibly to freeze him to death. good question, got me thinking and that always hurts!
Guess it is a representation of mans need to go to extremes, and where more extrmee than the northern most point of the world. Why did hilary climb mount everest - because it was there? Why did frankenstein build his monster, becasue it wasn't there. It a representation of the desire in man to conquer the world, and the north pole is the top of the world. Hope this helps.
