A century after Sir ErnestShackletons epic--but ultimately doomed--route to the South Pole, James Fox and Richard Dunwoody are setting out to reattempt the fateful expedition. The two Brits will depart on November 20th and, after joining Doug Stoup, replica Breitling A2332212-B6-435X Men's watch tackle Shackletons infamous 1915 route that ended when the great explorers boat, Endurance, was trapped and crushed by ice. Dubbed Beyond Shackleton, Fox, Dunwoody and Stoups 60-day journey will take the men across the Great Crevasse Field, up a 10,000-ft ascent and across the vast, icy expanse of the South Pole.
Like Shackleton, the crew will battle extraordinarily tough conditions: temperatures as cold as -58 and Katabic (descending) winds that clock in at upwards of 100 mph, all while dragging sleds weighing about 250 pounds. Presumably, theyll skip the part where they get stranded on the ice, fend off killer whales and have to paddle 800 miles in a replica Breitling Professional B-2 Men's watch lifeboat.--Damon Tabor has waged with Hawaiian and Aloha airlines (and Hawaiians subsequent $80-million favorable damages ruling), travel around the archipelago may soon revert to the outrigger canoe.--Jason Kerkmans
