The South Pole

17. August 2008

Greetings All,

 

The next challenge is in motion.

I have joined Antarctic Logistics & Expeditions (ALE),  expedition to the South Pole and will meet with the other four expedition members in Punta Arenas, Chile, around the 4^th of November.

Kari from Norway, Tom from USA, Steven from Australia, myself and our leader Sarah McNair-Landry will fly as a group from Punta Arenas into ALE’s base at Patriot Hills on the Antarctic Continent and then be air lifted down to Hercules Inlet, our starting point on the Antarctic coast. The 1170km journey then begins. If all goes well we will arrive at the Geographic South Pole approx 60 days later.

So folks, the training continues and lots to get organized. I am extremely grateful to the many who offer assistance in helping me prepare for these adventures and I will cover this more in future postings.

It is good to have a new plan!!
