North, South poles and beyond
Doug Stoup recently announced a full slate of projects proposed for 2008. But first he plans to squeeze in a 660 mile, 60-day South Pole ski in 2007...
Doug will be guiding two Brits James Fox and Richard Dunwoody MBE (champion jockey) across Northwestern Antarctica to the interior of the frozen continent. They'll trek UNSUPPORTED taking Shackleton's original mapped route to the South Pole -- which was never attempted due to the destruction of the 'Endurance.' This will be a grueling test of human endurance -- dragging 250 lb sleds over 660 miles for up to 60 days. Download press release.
-- In April, Doug will flip the axis and lead another group to the Geographic North Pole which will include Paul and Brent Hubner. He'll wind up the year by re-joining the Canadian 'Top of the World' expedition alumni, skiing to the South Pole in December (that will be twice to the South Pole in one year).
