Mission to support the development of the Commonwealth Women’s Antarctic Expedition
Monday, January 19th, 2009Mission are delighted to be supporting the Commonwealth Women’s Antarctic Expedition; women from around the World uniting to achieve the extraordinary.
The complex and diverse team is made up of eight women from eight Commonwealth countries with one aim; to navigate themselves to the bottom of the World.
Representing 5 continents, 6 global faiths and 7 World languages, the expedition team is a diverse group - some of whom had never seen snow before joining the expedition team. Unguided, they will need to rely on each other and come together to tackle the immense challenges, both mental and physical, of Antarctica.
Although some team members will be the first person from their nation to ski to the South Pole and others will be the first women from their nation to make this journey, the expedition is about much more than national and global records. The women will return to their home countries as role models to inspire others, particularly women, to reach beyond the expectation of others and follow their own path - the underlying values of Mission Performance.
We will be keeping you updated on their progress through both our website news page
