Fram2 crew was surprised to not see any evidence of human activity at the South Pole from 285 miles above. For the first time in history, a crew of four people are getting to see Earth's North and South poles with their own eyes.

Elon Musk's SpaceX on Monday launched a crew of four private astronauts led by a crypto entrepreneur on a mission to orbit Earth from pole to pole, a novel trajectory in which no humans have traveled before.

The four-person crew, led by cryptocurrency billionaire Chun Wang, will spend three to five days on a rare flight path around Earth’s poles.
