Below is our link to make donations to this expedition. Any amount will help Aaron toward his goal of conquering the interior of Antarctica. Many have failed trying this. Almost all have given up at the South Pole. Your financial contribution will go a long way to ensuring the trek is a success.

Supporting the first American to travel from the Antarctic coast to the South Pole and back, unaided and without resupply, is a great way to show your enthusiasm for the indomitable human spirit. Testing the limits of human endurance and chasing after records set in years past is one of the goals of this expedition.

    More information

    Although it's doubtful Shackleton, one of the early and perhaps most celebrated polar explorers, was attributed to posting this text in a newspaper advertising his expedition, the words rings true to all adventurers.

      Men wanted for hazardous journey.
    Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness.
    Safe return doubtful.
    Honour and recognition in event of success.


    Shackleton tended to be much more optimistic. So is Aaron!
