Chinese explorer Yang Jianxin has embarked on a solo sailing journey to the North Pole. This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.
The 53-year-old left Tangshan in China's Hebei Province.
He plans to make a no-stopping, no-replenishment solo sailing round trip from Tangshan to the North Pole.
There was no person in history navigating this route with a single sail on his or her own.
Several years ago, Yang had completed a 32-day solo sailing on the seas off China's eastern and southern coastlines.
