Our expeditions

The Shackleton Centenary Expedition traveled along the length of the Beardmore Glacier - one of the great glaciers of the world - and then across the upper reaches of its drainage basin en-route to the South Pole.  The same route as Shackleton's Nimrod Expedition of 1908-9.

Following intensive ice training in Norway, Baffin Island, Greenland, Scotland & Austria, with fitness programme assistance from the OMI (Olympic Medical Institute, London) the team followed the same route to Pole as Shackleton's Nimrod Expedition of 1908-9.

They flew from Punto Arenas, Chile; having refueled at Patriot Hills base, and were dropped on Ross Island, at the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf.

As befits a modern expedition, the trip was entirely carbon neutral, with all CO2 emissions offset.

Everyone at Multimat offers the team its congratulations on a safe and successful trip.
