Punta Arenas

We arrived in Punta Arenas four days ago. Ever since, it’s been 12-hour days of packing–packing–packing. Today I (Emma) didn’t step outside until 7 PM; the whole day was spent with the scale, weighing gram by gram of all the food we’re bringing. It looks like we’ll be flying to Antarctica on Wednesday, November 12th, and we’re insanely excited!! More updates coming soon Hugs, Emma & Kathinka

3 days until departure!

The excitement is really starting to build. Emma leaves for Paris on Monday, while Kathinka heads south on Tuesday. Today is our last “ordinary day” in Norway for quite a while, so we’re running around like headless chickens trying to get everything sorted. Today’s to-do list has 10 items - 4 checked off so far, and we’re feeling quite proud of ourselves! It’s sad to say goodbye to friends and family, but we’re so excited to finally get going!!! Hugs,Emma & Kathinka

Only one week to go

Hard to believe – in just one week we’ll be heading south. After months of planning, packing, testing and training, it’s starting to sink in that this is actually happening. Our cargo was shipped a month ago, and yesterday we finally got the confirmation we’d been waiting for: everything has arrived safely in Punta Arenas. That means sleds, tents, food, and everything else we’ll be living with for weeks on the ice are ready and waiting for us. Here at home, the days are fille

South Pole 2025

We are now on our way to the South Pole – as the world’s first mother-daughter-duo ski expedition along a new route that no one has taken before. We start 1,200 kilometers from the pole, a journey we expect to take approximately 55 days. From there, we will turn around and kite back the entire way.

In total, the expedition will cover 2,400 kilometers and last around 75 days.
