| Just before midnight on January 28th, Simon Murray CBE and Pen Hadow completed – without any
support - their 680 mile journey from Hercules Inlet on the continental edge of Antarctica to the
South Geographic Pole. Simon is now the oldest person to make this journey to the South Pole, and
Pen is the first British explorer to trek unsupported to both Poles without re-supply or airdrop.
The Tetley South Pole Mission has been helping to raise awareness for the Royal Geographical Society’s
polar archives that will be open to all in June 2004. The Mission has also helped raise funds for
the Society’s £7.2 million appeal.
Simon and Pen’s expedition has so far raised almost £250,000 for the Royal Geographical’s
Society’s polar heritage appeal. If you would like to make a donation before the appeal closes,
please do so now. Click here
Thank you
