Just as Amunsden was reachingÊ the Pole 100 years ago we will be learning the art of dog sledding for ourselves,Ê one day later on December 14, 2011 Roald Amunsden, his trusty men and their dogs reached the South Pole, Antarctica. The use of dogs in Polar exploration was long debated at the time,Ê Amunsden's success was one of the notable difference between the Scott and Amunsden operation and leadership.
In the spirit of a team, bring a friend, better still friends, be the first to sign as a new member on the night and receive 50% of one years membership fee.
Several of the members talk about the dogs on the ice, especially from Scott Base, others of us will never know the joy of sledding behind the team across the Antarctic ice, come share your experiences and meet the dogs of Canterbury who keep this tradition alive.Ê
