The expedition route stretches over 2200km (1400 miles) and retraces part of Edward Wilson’s footsteps to the geographic south pole. From 85 degrees at the top of the Beardmore glacier to the south pole and then from there to Hercules Inlet by the Weddell sea.

Therefore not only is this expedition unusual in the fact that it is from the Beardmore glacier, but is is also one of the longest polar expeditions. It will be completed with no resupply, therefore the team has to haul all supplies for the 60 day expedition, with loads up to 150kg.
