Last Antarctic season, Rune Gjeldnes set off alone from Novo and skied and kited to the South Pole.  Not stopping there, he continued onwards until he'd crossed the continent.  At a little under 5000 km, the journey presents the longest unsupported ski trip ever made.

Record or no record, the trip was a journey of discovery and, to me, represents the skill and mental agility of someone who's really worked at, and mastered, their game.

I was inspired having read it.

The book's beautifully presented with beautiful photos and lots of info invaluable to anyone planning a kiting expedition.  You can buy Beyond the Poles at www.seal.no

Re: Beyond the Poles by Rune Gjeldnes

Hey! Glad to see you're still climbing, and that you got the sponsorship recognition you deserve. Keep going - onwards and upwards!!!

2009 Expeditions & A New Website! - 06 November 2008

After a really busy season, we've spent the last month developing and finalising all those ideas we had over the last year - new mountain ranges to visit, routes to ski and fiords to paddle - in a nutshell, all that inspires us to explore this magical place.  Over the next month, we'll be updating the site with the new expedition programme.  At the same time, we'll be changing each page to the new website - we hope you like it and that you can join us next year! 

You can also always email or call us to hear about next year's programme.
