One of the world’s ultimate adventures

Incredible vistas to the end of the world

This is anything but an expedition for the lighthearted as it entails vigorous activity for a very extended period. Once established at the edge of the Antarctic continent, we travel totally non-mechanised, with all team members hauling sledges and becoming fully immersed in the challenge. This expedition is open to all outdoors people with experience in cold conditions and a background in climbing or backcountry skiing coupled with an ability to be a valuable team member. Antarctica has held the imagination of the entire world for over two centuries, yet the allure of this remote continent has not diminished. With huge advances in modern-day technology, travel to any part of the world seems to be considered a ‘fait accomplis’. Yet Antarctica still holds a sense of being impenetrable, a place where man has not tamed nature.
