ANTARCTIC CHALLENGE 2026/2027

POLE OF COLD – SOUTH POLE

1,300 km on foot with skis and sledges in the coldest part of the world – without supply depots.

Having opened up a new route to the South Pole and experienced the immensity, sublime beauty, solitude, and purity of Antarctica, it has become a part of who we are. The desire to convey this beauty and the potential of untouched nature to others inspires us to take another new route and embark on something extraordinary.

A Unique Challenge

We will set off from the Antarctic plateau at the so-called Pole of Cold, which lies at an altitude of 3,488 m near the scientifically renowned Lake Vostok (East Antarctica). The route extends over 1,300 km, in extreme cold and at considerable altitude, regularly exposed to polar storms. This challenge has never before been undertaken “unsupported” – on foot, with skis and sledges, without supply depots or the help of aircraft.

„Deep Space“ on Earth

The mental strength required, physical demands (130 kg sledges), technical expertise, complex logistics, and the extreme exposure, isolation, and solitude in the “Deep Space” of the white continent represent the ultimate challenge in modern polar history.

Preservation of Untouched Nature and our Potential

Our living environments influence nature, and nature influences us. We expand our living areas without consideration as to how this affects our own potential: our creativity. Unlocking our creative potential is closely linked to realizing our dreams – and realizing our dreams often requires breaking through inner barriers.

Our potential is much greater than we think. Everyone can write their own individual story in this world if they live in tune with their own potential. Nature is an essential source of our strength. We see it as our responsibility to emphasize the importance of nature and its pristine areas for the preservation of the environments in which we live.
