HSXAntarctica

Joe Doherty and Oliver Robinson are two Hampshire Scouts heading to Antarctica in 2018 with the aim of skiing to the South Pole and kite skiing back. The journey will begin from the Messner Start (80°67’ S 65°00’ W) from where the team will haul their 100kg pulks 566 nautical miles to the South Pole over 45 days. Upon reaching the Pole they will head for Hercules Inlet (80°05’ S 78°30’ W), covering 700 Nautical miles using only the power of the wind.
