WELCOME TO SHACKLETON CHALLENGES

Sir Ernest Shackleton lived his life as a series of extraordinary challenges. He set himself audacious goals, then strived to the uttermost to achieve them. At Shackleton we believe it’s only when faced with a challenge that we discover who we really are, what we’re capable of and how much we can endure. We believe that challenge is a powerful force for us all - for progress, for the world, for good. Shackleton Challenges’ aim is for all clients to return a few centimetres taller metaphorically, having gained more confidence and having learned how to overcome adversity. Lessons that can then be applied in their everyday lives.

MEET YOUR GUIDES

We work with some of the very best polar guides, ensuring the highest possible safety, tuition and expertise on every expedition. Every Shackleton Challenge has at least two highly-qualified guides, led by Director of Expeditions Louis Rudd, and managed by Expedition Manager, Wendy Searle – between them they have accumulated thousands of miles on foot in polar regions. You will have several interactions with Wendy and Louis prior to departure, they will advise on pre-expedition training, kit recommendation and what to expect when on a Shackleton Challenge.
