As a symbol, the cross has shown up in a number of surprising places, but as far as we know, it was never erected at the North Pole until 1998. That's the year a Russian priest named Viktor Smetanikov installed a nine-foot-high wooden cross on an ice flow there, and then offered prayer.
And how did he get himself and the cross there? By parachute. The jump was organized by Russia's Olympic Committee.
