Titan Challenger Expedition Down Jacket
“I seemed to vow to myself that someday I would go to the region of ice and snow and go on and on till I came to one of the poles of the earth, the end of the axis upon which this great round ball turns.” - Ernest Shackleton
Around 10 times more people have summited Everest than skied to the geographic South Pole. This 12 day expedition is your opportunity to traverse the otherworldly Antarctic landscape and reach the very end of the Earth. You will ski the last 60 nautical miles from 89˚S to the South Pole, hauling a 30kg pulk across the high polar plateau, experiencing all its beauty and brutality. Your efforts will reap the ultimate reward, reaching the South Pole. Picture yourself standing on most southerly point on Earth, having got there using nothing but your own strength and determination.

Shackleton's Legacy
Punta Arenas is a place steeped in Antarctic and maritime history where the challenge starts. Sir Ernest Shackleton used the city as headquarters to plan the remarkable rescue of his Endurance crew stranded on Elephant Island. His legend endures throughout the history of this city.
Experience Antarctica HQ
After an epic flight across the Drake Passage you will land on a 3km long ice runway and see Antarctica’s basecamp emerge from the ice. Union Glacier is the central hub for the Antarctic season and a melting pot of remarkable people with incredible tales of adventure to tell and new ambitions to fulfill. Rub shoulders with scientists, researchers, explorers, film-makers and celebrities in this unique tented village on the ice.
All-Inclusive Expedition
The ultimate peace of mind - from the moment you touch down in Punta Arenas we’ll take care of everything, allowing you to focus on the Challenge ahead.
Creating your own history
On 14th December 1911, Norwegian great Roald Amundsen was the first person to reach the South Pole. Since this moment, over 100 years ago, very few people have had the pleasure of skiing to the bottom of the earth. This will be a moment that will live with you forever and will no doubt change your perspective on life.
