Expeditions 7: Two Years Around the World on all Seven Continents.

[goodtimes]

Another expedition that we will be interfacing with near the pole. We expect to encounter the skier and support vehicle a few hundred KMs into our drive past the South Pole towards the Ross Ice Shelf. Gear Patrol did a nice piece on him here:

Hard to believe that it's colder here in Saskatchewan than it is for the E7 team right now. -35C without the windchill here in Regina, as cold as -59C with the windchill in other parts of the Province.

-30 here in Montana.

Prince Harry and the Walking with the Wounded team reached the south pole on 12/13. During the three week trek, they traveled 200 miles on skis, dragging 100 lb sleds. Nighttime temperatures got as low as -31F, wind speeds reached 50 mph.

I got word this afternoon that the team had a successful crossing and will be back in Capetown tomorrow. We should be getting a update and pics soon.

We have arrived safe back in Cape Town after a wonderful adventure. As a team, we achieved the South Pole and ultimately crossed Antarctica twice, from the coast north of Novo to the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf. More details soon!
