On March 21, 2013 a team of intrepid explorers set off to conquer the last great polar challenge: to cross the Antarctic continent in winter. Conceived by Sir Ranulph Fiennes in 2005, this 6-month, 2000+ mile traverse will see a five man team experience near 24-hour darkness and temperatures plunging below -94°F (-70°C). As well as providing unique scientific research and a global education program, The Coldest Journey hopes to raise $10m for Seeing Is Believing to help fight preventable blindness.

During the 6-month traverse, the video content and photography will be captured on SanDisk Extreme Pro SDHC Cards, with all content—an anticipated 47TB of data—trusted to storage and back-up on SanDisk Extreme SSDs.

On 6th December, a bold group of explorers will set off from London on what will be the start of the world's first ever attempt to cross the Antarctic in winter.

The 2000-mile journey across the continent has for many years been considered too perilous to try and the expedition's six-man "Ice Team" - led by Sir Ranulph Fiennes - will have to overcome one of earth's most hostile environments if they are to succeed, exposing themselves to temperatures dropping close to -90c and operating in near permanent darkness.

A winter traverse of the Antarctic is widely regarded as the last true remaining polar challenge.

A fund-raising initiative will run side-by-side with the expedition with the aim of raising $10m for Seeing is Believing to help fight blindness around the world.
