Last 300

On January 13th, 2020, the ‘Last 300’ and the ‘Last Degree’ expeditions reached the South Geographic Pole.

Robert Swan returned to the icy continent to finish a life-long dream that he started three decades ago. Using Advanced BioFuels and gear made from plants, CO2, and recycled materials, the Last 300 team successfully completed their journey.

Walking to the South Pole

Watch above as the team battles through 300 miles of the toughest conditions on the planet including below freezing temperatures, gusting wind, and deep sastrugi (wind-swept ice formations).

In the year 2041, the fate of Antarctica will be decided. Join us for the remaining 20 years of our 50-year mission to preserve Antarctica as a natural reserve for science and peace. Learn more about how to get involved with supporting our mission.
