SOUTH

a truly groundbreaking polar expedition for 2009

 

 

South

 

 

 

 

 

South will be the first return journey to the South Pole on foot, and the longest unsupported (human powered) Polar journey in history.

 

The culmination of more than four years' training and preparation, and the input of experts in fields as diverse as satellite communications to the manufacture of carbon composites and next-generation solar fabrics, SOUTH is not a throwback to the Elizabethan age of exploration, it is a statement about what we are collectively capable of achieving.

 

Scheduled to commence towards the end of 2009, SOUTH will see Mountain Equipment Pro Partner Ben Saunders and fellow expeditionist Alastair Humphries pushing forward the boundaries of human capability and breaking new ground for others to follow.
