To the End of the Earth

Experience the once in a life time feeling of standing at the South Pole, following in the footsteps of the greatest explorers in history.

"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
