Ski to the South Pole and climb one of the Seven Summits in the same month. If you 're headed to 90 degrees south, you might as well climb Vinson Massif since you 're in the neighborhood! The peak itself rises 4,897 meters (16,067 feet) above sea level, and offers outstanding views of Mt. Gardiner, Mt. Shinn and the wondrous Antarctic landscape. The main route is not considered especially technical, but the extreme temperatures, high winds and remote location demand high performance and sound judgment. Previous mountaineering experience is a must. PolarExplorers can help you make arrangements to acquire such experience if necessary.
