A South Pole expedition is definitely not luxury travel. Participants need to be fit and in good health, and will be required to submit a physical evaluation prior to departure.

The main purpose of this expedition is to reach the South Pole, and everything possible will be done to achieve this goal. Although we have allowed time in our schedule for weather delays, each participant must acknowledge that there is the possibility that extreme weather conditions could significantly alter our travel dates both to and from Antarctica, and these same conditions could even prevent expedition members from reaching the pole.
