WANTED: Would-be Polar Explorers
The Fire Fighters Charity is looking for true adventurers who are bored of the typical sponsored charity activity, and who are looking for a challenge of a different kind. The challenge in question is an expedition to one of the most inaccessible places on earth; the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility - the Arctic Pole!
The expedition is being lead by explorer Jim McNeill, and the trip represents the last ‘true first' in polar expeditionary terms. Defined as the furthest point from land on the Arctic Ocean and therefore its centre, the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility remains the last truly significant place in the Polar Regions, yet to be reached by mankind. It is over 200 miles further than the Geographic North Pole and one of four recognised north poles.
Jim is looking for 28 highly dedicated and committed people to take part in a comprehensive and intensive training programme to take on one of four 200 mile legs, pushing the route across the Arctic Ocean.
For more information, see www.ice-warrior.com. Should you wish to participate on behalf of The Fire Fighters Charity, please email Alison White on awhite@firefighterscharity.org.uk.
