Inspire is a project to get a British Olympian, Paralympian and Special Olympics Athlete skiing to the South Pole under their own steam during the build up to the London 2012 Olympic Games.
In doing so, we aim to reinforce the London 2012 messages of inclusion, participation and accessibility; and help inspire a generation during the excitement preceding the London Olympic and Paralmypic Games.
Departs December 2011 for six weeks arriving at the South Pole in January 2012. The team will be skiing alone and without re-supply, carrying all the necessary food and equipment for four weeks on the ice.
Conditions they can expect to encounter include crevasses, zero visibility, giant ice ridges and hurricane force winds exacerbating temperatures of -30°C.
