Chris Brown (born 1962) is a British explorer and adventurer known for his bid to become the first person in history to visit all eight of the Earth's Continental Poles of Inaccessibility.
Brown holds a Guinness World Record for the most race dives into a swimming pool in one hour[2] and has been elected as a Lifelong Honorary Fellow of the Scientific Exploration Society.
[5][6] Two years later, in 2018, this idea was cemented while attending the "world's highest dinner party" on Mount Everest, organised to raise funds for UK charity Community Action Nepal.
The group were accompanied on the trek through the triple-canopy jungle by four members of FACA (Forces armées centrafricaines) in this very dangerous part of Africa close to the country's tripoint with South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
On 11th January 2023, they first visited the traditional Southern Pole of Inaccessibility at the Soviet Union research station where they found that just the head and shoulders of the Lenin Bust and a non-functioning weather mast are all that remain above the ice.
At the exact coordinates, Brown and Mika jumped into the water to become the first recorded people to swim at Point Nemo, accompanied by Videographer Adam Watson and overseen by Doug Shields.
[16] In 2023, in the wake of the Titan submersible implosion, Brown revealed that he had paid a deposit for a place aboard the OceanGate vessel but had subsequently pulled out over concerns about its safety.
