THE LAST GREAT FIRST
The First Full Unsupported Ski Crossing of Antarctica
The Last Great First is the World’s first unsupported coast to coast ski crossing of Antarctica.
Our Explorers, Gareth and Richard will ski 2,600km unsupported for 110 days from coast to coast in Antarctica. They will pull their supplies as they go.
The Expedition will commence in November and finish in February.
The Expedition will support science and medical developments and will celebrate Sir Ernest Shackleton’s life and legacy almost exactly 100 years after his passing.
Crowdfunding
As with Shackleton’s world famous 1914-1917 expedition attempt to cross Antarctica, our crossing would not be possible without the support our partners, sponsors and you our followers and supporters.
Just like our current expedition, the Imperial Trans-Antarctic expedition managed by Shackleton, reached out to people from all over the planet to help with funds. Schools adopted and named dogs, patrons purchased supplies and parts of the vessel “during a global catastrophe”.
So just as he did we ask you to follow our link and support our cause.
