Spectre Expedition – 21st Century Exploration


At the turn of the 20th Century reaching the South Pole was the wildest dream of the pioneers of the golden age of exploration. Today’s communications, technology & infrastructure have radically transformed Antarctic exploration opening the door to a new age of discovery.

Our expedition utilised modern polar knowledge & techniques that enable low impact, long distance travel at high speed with kites and skis to access & explore a region previously beyond the reach of independent expeditions, the most remote mountains on Earth; the Spectre in the Gothic Range of the Transantarctic Mountains.

We travelled 2,000km with 200kg loads each over 2 months. 

An unsupported traverse of the Antarctic continent was then  undertaken, almost. We didn’t really bother to go to the coast, or the South Pole….

It was quite remote being left at 3000m and we figured we were possibly some of the most remote people on the planet.
