The Coldest Journey
The Coldest Journey is a Commonwealth-supported expedition to Antarctica with the aim of becoming the first team ever to cross the Antarctic land mass during the polar winter. The endeavour is aiming to raise more than $10 million for Seeing is Believing, a global charitable initiative which aims to eradicate avoidable blindness in developing countries. The team is using cloud-based web technologies to connect with schools across the world as part of an educational programme designed to inspire a new generation towards high achievement. The project is also performing scientific research and collecting data from Antarctica during the expedition to further the understanding of the effects of climate change on the polar regions.
==Team==
The expedition has three main components: the Ice Team, led by Brian Newham after Expedition Co-Leader Sir Ranulph Fiennes had to pull out due to injury; the Marine Team led by Anton Bowring (Expedition Co-Leader); and the Operations Team led by Tristam Kaye (Operations Manager).
The Ice Team is made up of Brian Newham (leader (formerly traverse manager)); Robert Lambert (expedition doctor); Ian Prickett; Spencer Smirl (lead mechanic/driver); and, Richmond Dykes (mechanic/driver).
On 25 February 2013, Fiennes abandoned the expedition and was evacuated to Princess Elisabeth Station, due to frostbite suffered while attempting to fix a ski binding without gloves at . The rest of the team set off from Crown Bay on 21 March 2013 under the leadership of Brian Newham. They have until the September equinox to complete the traverse successfully in winter. Most of the expedition will be carried out in complete darkness and in temperatures as cold as or lower.〔(AP via ''USA Today'': Ranulph Fiennes pulls out of Antarctic journey )〕〔(BBC: Ranulph Fiennes pulls out of Antarctic challenge )〕〔(''Mirror'': Trapped in Antarctica with severe frostbite: Blizzards hamper attempts to rescue explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes )〕〔(''The Telegraph'': Sir Ranulph Fiennes pulls out of 'coldest journey on earth' due to frostbite )〕〔(''The Telegraph'': Sir Ranulph Fiennes abandons Antarctic crossing after frostbite )〕〔(CS Monitor: Ranulph Fiennes pulls out of 'Coldest Journey' expedition )〕〔(Sky News: Explorer Fiennes Forced Out Of Antarctic Trip )〕〔(ITN News: Frostbite ends Fiennes' Antarctic adventure )〕
