South Georgia – A ski Adventure of a life time
Ski Expedition in the footsteps of Shackleton 03 – 17 December 2011.
Following a successful ski expedition this year we will be once again offering a second ski expedition with dedicated ski guide team across South Georgia in 2011.
A team of six international participants and two mountain guides have successfully completed their self supplied ski crossing of South Georgia which follows the historical footsteps of Shackleton, Crean and Worsley. The rout took them across remote South Georgia island from King Haakon Bay to Stromness. All accomplished in 4 days with field camps at Murry Snowfield, Great Nunatak and Fortuna west side.
This ski expedition is aimed at keen skiers who are up for an adventure which will include a challenging traverse across the island with ski hauling by way of sledge. The distance covered will be 40-50 Kms and retracing sections of the historic Shackleton route. Non skiers are also welcome on the expedition and can also get involved with opportunities to get active.
If you are interested in this trip of a lifetime numbers will be restricted and therefore please enquire early to avoid disappointment. Deadline for application to do the Ski Crossing must be received by 20 April 2011.
Prices start at £5995 per person (based on a quad cabin shared) for the main expedition including flights from Santiago de Chile to Falklands where the expedition starts. The Ski Crossing will cost and extra £3713 per person. International flights not included but can be arranged.
