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.

"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


Ten 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 bottom of Planet Earth. You will ski the last degree, the final 60 nautical miles from 89˚S to the South Pole, hauling a pulk across the high polar plateau, experiencing all its beauty and brutality. Your efforts will reap the ultimate reward, you will be one of the few people in history who has skied to the South Pole. Picture yourself standing on the most southerly point on Earth, having got there using nothing but your own strength and determination. By Endurance you will Conquer.
