THE EXPEDITION

The expedition

A snowkite traverse off the bottom of the world, from the Pole back to the coast at Hercules Inlet.

From the South Pole to the edge of the continent at Hercules Inlet, under kite power across the Antarctic plateau. Forty-four days of altitude, wind, and a horizon that does not change for weeks at a time.

This is expedition travel at its most committing. A small team, full self-support, and margins that demand real experience. You do not sign up for this one to find yourself. You sign up because you already know who you are.
