Amazing Ski Trek. Men and women are invited to join Oceanwide Expeditions on a fantastic Ski Trek across South Georgia: a group of up to 12 ski explorers and 2-3 mountain guides will attempt to traverse, on an unsupported and self supplied trek, across the island with skis (or snowshoes) hauling sledges. The skiers will cover a total distance of 40 – 50 km retracing sections of the historic Shackleton route. The ski trek is part of a sea voyage to South Georgia, from Montevideo, South America, with 5 days skiing during the 18 day expedition from 18 Oct to 04 Nov.
On arrival day at South Georgia, the expedition members will spend a night close to the shore preparing for the crossing. The expedition will then embark on their trek across alpine passes and glaciers aiming for reunion with the ship at Stromness Bay. All passengers will then continue to enjoy the latter part of the South Georgia cruise itinerary. Non skiers will also have plenty of opportunities to walk and see abundant wildlife. All passengers have the use of snowshoes to ease walking on deep snow.
Deadline for applications for the ski expedition: 31 May 2010
