Dear Explorers Connect community
Due to some last-minute changes, we are looking for 1-2 people to complete our team of 5 for a small 9 day expedition in Svalbard between 15 – 30 March 2025. The 3 of us in the team have approximately 3-4 weeks of polar experience and some mountaineering experience.
This will be 9 days on the ice with camping, pulks and skis so some polar/nordic expedition experience is essential. We intend to traverse some glaciers in order to collect snow samples as part of a global scientific programme, but other than this the route is TBC and will depend on conditions at the time.
We will be using an experienced local guide to ensure safety and compliance with Svalbard protocols (e.g. rifles and polar bears).
The cost is likely to be around EUR 2,500-3,000, not including travel, personal insurance and personal kit but happy to discuss this. Personal kit includes skis, boots, sleeping bags etc..
Please contact me at hesswfg@hotmail.co.uk if you are interested.
All the best,
Will
