Final guide assignment depends on expedition format, group size, and availability. We confirm at selection.
THE EXPEDITION
The expedition
Three weeks on moving sea ice toward ninety degrees north, where the ground drifts under you while you sleep.
The North Pole is not a mountain you climb. It is a moving target on a frozen ocean, and the ice you cross by day carries you backwards while you rest. Open leads, pressure ridges, and a cold that does not negotiate.
Twenty-one days in a very small team. This is the deep end of polar travel, and the screening reflects that. If you are ready, there are few harder or more honest places to stand.
