From Filchner Ice Shelf to the Geographic South Pole Unassisted 47 days 20 hours 673 statute miles

I would like to thank the professional staff of TAC and ALCI especially Alexey, Victor and Anne for making our dream of reaching the pole. It was an amazing expedition and I am proud to pioneer a new route and with the help and logistically support of TAC/ALCI they can make your dreams come true as well.

A huge thanks you to all at TAC and ALCI for your help in achieving a long-term ambition in reaching the Geographic South Pole from the Filchner Ice Shelf . It was a truly incredible experience and the logistics support we received from TAC and ALCI was really appreciated.

Anywhere in Antarctica is remote but an expedition to the Pole of Inaccessibility (POI), the furthest point from the coast of Antarctica, is as remote as it gets. In deciding whether to accept the offer to guide an expedition to the POI, I was swayed by the fact that The Antarctica Company, and in particular Victor Serov, would handle all the logistics. Even though the company is new, Victor has extensive experience in Antarctica and on the Arctic Ocean, as a scientist, an expedition guide and organizing logistics for polar expeditions. Having worked with Victor at both ends of the planet, I can confidently write that he is totally reliable, pays close attention to all the details, offers sound advice and above all, is a really nice person to work with. I highly recommend his services and know from experience, that The Antarctic Company will flourish in Antarctica.

"Even when we were in a quite awkward situation during the expedition in the middle of Queen Maud Land without any working airplanes for thousands of miles due to a unfortunate landing, TAC made a marvellous work of getting things done – and keeping their timetable to the minute. And that is what counts in the end …

Without TAC?s long-time polar experience and understanding for complex expeditions, we would not have climbed five first ascents in one of the most beautiful and remote areas in the world."
