We have now added the ability for you to send an approved message to the team out in the Antarctic. Please use the “Contact the Team” page.

With final authority to proceed given by the Royal Navy, the expedition team makes final preparations before heading South.

With only one month left to prepare for the start of the Expedition, details of the team are now available on the Team Page.

With 2 months to go until the start of the adventure, Admiral Sir George Zambellas KCB DSC ADC, First Sea Lord and Chief of Naval Staff, delivers a message in his capacity as the Senior Service Patron for Antarctic Endurance 2016.

The Antarctic Endurance 2016 launch event took place in the James Caird Hall at Dulwich College on Monday 12 October, in the presence of Patrons and sponsors.

The team is set for another training week in the mountains – this time in the Alps.

In 6 months the team will be joining the yacht Xplore at the start of their adventure.  Much to be achieved before then by all involved.

In a bid to raise money for the project and get in some valuable team training, the members of AE16 will be tackling the 3 Peaks Challenge – climbing the highest peak in Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours. Donations can be given online at:
