south pole Expedition

 


Some of the greatest stories of modern exploration are those of attempts to reach the Geographic South Pole. Still the names of explorers like Scott, Amundsen and Shackleton continue to fascinate us as we learn of their heroic journeys. Today, you can follow in their footsteps on the same journey with the use of modern technology - an aircraft.

This is a South Pole Expedition for the serious adventurer. Challenge your limits on a voyage into the unknown and unexplored, covering the last difficult 60 nautical miles on ski. Reaching your goal, you will become part of a small group of less than 300 people who have reached the South Pole overland by ski. 

We expect to cover an average of 10 miles a day with plenty of breaks to keep hydrated and conserve energy. The last 15 miles will seem the longest, however once you reach your goal it will all have been worthwhile as you celebrate reaching the most southerly point on earth!
