About PolarExplorers

Polar expeditions, planned by people who have skied them.

PolarExplorers has spent more than two decades guiding travelers to the North Pole, South Pole, Greenland icecap, Svalbard, and South Georgia. Their guide team has pioneered the modern last-degree ski format and trained dozens of first-time polar travelers through the same expeditions you can join today — Vatnajokull, the Arctic Circle Trail, Shackleton's Crossing, and full-distance South Pole skis.

PolarExplorers × Wandr Health FAQ

  • Arctic / icecap expeditions (North Pole Last Degree, Greenland Crossing, Arctic Circle Trail, Svalbard, Vatnajokull) use the Polar Expedition Kit. The Shackleton Crossing of South Georgia adds scopolamine for the Southern Ocean transit. The South Pole and Mt. Vinson combos add acetazolamide for altitude.
