Cross-country Skiing in Antarctica

Antarctica was long considered the “final frontier” for Alpine and Nordic skiers. In a sense this is somewhat ironic, as all of the early Antarctic explorers including Amundsen and Scott traveled on skis. Certainly snow is not a problem when one thinks of Antarctica - it’s getting there that’s been the hold-up. No longer, though, thanks to a company called Adventure Network International. Established in 1985, Salt Lake City, Utah based ANI opened up the Southern Continent to recreational tourism by providing a safe and reliable air travel and ground support network to satisfy the needs of their customers.
