Who can participate in the expidition?
A member of the expedition to the North Pole has to know:
Ski expedition to the North Pole – is a complex mission that demands good physical and psychological preparation. It is always better to enjoy the trek than to suffer from it. To estimate your abilities and prepare yourself better, you ought to know what to expect.
Physical exercises:
You are going to walk on skis or foot (depending on the ice conditions) for 8–10 hours daily for 8–10 days. Besides, you have to pull a 40–50 kg expedition sled with equipment, fuel, and food. The ice surface is mostly rugged, making smooth and comfortable sliding pretty unlikely.
Cold:
The air temperature in the Pole vicinity during the expedition period usually lies between -20 C° and -35 C° and it is good if you have endured it in the past. Apart from that wind may dramatically increase the cooling effect. Daily temperature deviations in the Arctic are not significant in April. Sun neither sets nor rises high over the horizon.
Conclusions:
Consult your doctor before making up a decision about an expedition to the North Pole.
Previous experience of the tours, ascents, expeditions and winter camping could prove very useful.
Doing various winter sports would be very helpful.
Ask yourself: What do I need it for?
If you know the right answer, don’t hesitate to contact us, and we shall work it out together!
