Summary[edit]

Description
English: Celebrating 30 years since the 1990 International Trans-Antarctica Expedition

This week we had the very exciting opportunity and great pleasure to meet with British Explorer Geoff Somers (M.B.E), who was part of the international team that completed the Trans- Antarctica expedition back in 1990. This was the first ever crossing of Antarctica by foot, covering the longest distance of the continent. This journey will never be completed again in its entirety due to parts of the peninsula melting away over the years since.

Quiggin’s sponsored the team by supplying them with our Kendal Mint Cake. This expedition, nicknamed ‘The Impossible Journey’, lasted 220 days, travelled across 3,741k of the most inhospitable terrain, in conditions that at times dropped to minus 50 degrees Celsius.
